Padma Lakshmi Dishes on Her New Short Hair

Padma Lakshmi keeps things sizzling even when she's far away from the kitchen. The Top Chef host can steam up any shot, whether she's flaunting her skills on the runway or donning two bras for an online cooking tutorial (you read that right). But the former model has been in her "feelings" as of late, according to a recent Instagram post in which she revealed her thoughts about her body in a racy lingerie set. 

How to Watch

Watch Top Chef on Bravo and next day on Peacock.

"Feeling like myself in my body again," Padma wrote in the April 22 post alongside a sultry pic as she posed in a dimmly-lit bathroom with her abs on display. Padma wore a plunging, black, lace-trimmed balconette bra with coordinating, high-waisted, booty shorts. Her pin up-worthy, half updo served a whole lot of volume with a serious side of body. 

She captioned the playful clip "Feelin myself" as a play on the the legendary tune by singer Tweet. But Padma has a long history of sharing her "feelins." Last year, she was "feelin' bluesy" in a skintight, busty jumpsuit. And who could forget when she was "feelin' fine at 49" in a sexy black bikini? She has even been rather candid with her thoughts when she shared that she was "feeling emotionally, physically & spiritually secure" in nothing more than shapewear and diamonds shortly before the 2019 Emmy Awards.

We're feeling this.
