She shared a clip of herself snuggling a chihuahua — who playfully snapped at her lips — while enjoying the sunset ocean breeze and wrapped in a floral beach coverup.
In a third pic, the “Top Chef” alum again showed off her toned physique in the neon pink bikini, with her long, wavy hair falling down over her shoulder.
She captioned the carousel with a simple sunshine emoji.
Fans of the lingerie model took to the comments thread to gush over her flawless figure.
“That lady hasn’t lost her touch for decades now. Wow Padma, love it. 😍😍❤️❤️,” wrote a follower, while another remarked, “Golden goddess of the endless summer.”
“Oh my God! Padma just gets better as the years go by. 🩷😍 Flawless. 👙,” a third chimed in, with a fourth gushing, “Always thought sunsets were the most beautiful sight; now I realize they are 2nd…💫👸💫”
Lakshmi — who recently designed her first lingerie collection with Bare Necessities — recently confessed that her bra size had expanded considerably as she approached middle age.
“Nobody told me that your boobs get huge,” she told Forbes in June 2024 of hitting peri-menopause. The host went on to explain that her bra size went from 34C to 36DD in her mid-40s.
“My tastes were the same, but the bras that were available in my new size were really matronly and covered-up,” she continued.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model explained that while her body changed, she still wanted to feel confident. “As we’re living longer and more fuller lives, we want to look great as we age,” Lakshmi shared.
“I don’t want to look like a 23-year-old, I want to look like the best version of me.”
She also shared her advice for women as their bodies transition in middle age. “Give yourself the empathy you would show your best girlfriend, show yourself the same grace you would afford to somebody you really love,” she said.
In a separate interview with Page Six Style, the mom of one confessed that the years haven’t stripped her of her confidence.
“I’m more confident now,” she said, “physically and otherwise.”
She added, “And I would never go back to my 20s, even if it meant I had a body that was more fit and skinny and tight and and high in all the right places. You know, I look OK now!”
