Padma Lakshmi doesn't mind the heat. The Bravo's Top Chef host says bring it on to 100-degree summer days, as long as she can spend them at the beach in a teeny tiny bikini.
Padma just posted a sultry photo of herself on the sand in a maroon string bikini, posing like the Vogue cover model that she is. "100°F this weekend. 'Perfect,'" she wrote, adding the hashtags "no retouching up in here" and "no facetune either."
The cookbook author keeps it real on social media, and she's all about a sexy bikini photoshoot (she never misses National Bikini Day, for example). Padma's outspoken about body confidence too.
"In truth, I feel better about my body now, even after breastfeeding, gravity, etc. than I did in my 20’s. I’m not riddled with insecurity as I was. I eat well and bust my butt in the gym," she said last year on her birthday.
