Padma Lakshmi is just a day away from turning 40. Just look at her - drop dead gorgeous, dynamic and successful. She now has an Emmy tucked under her belt for the reality cookery show she hosts on TV, ‘Top Chef’.At the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, Padma Lakshmi looked radiant in a strapless navy chiffon Carolina Herrera gown. Complementing the gown was a somewhat unusual necklace for a red carpet appearance. The statement piece is from her eponymous jewelery collection.
The Indian American TV host, author, actor, model and mom looks set to rock the forties. A novelty in the glamour world, Padma Lakshmi is among the few Indian models to have had a career in Paris, Milan and New York. Top designers such as Emanuel Ungaro, Ralph Lauren, and Alberta Ferretti have featured her.
Padma Lakshmi has worked in films and a music video. She’s the author of two cookbooks. Her first cookbook ‘Easy Exotic’ was awarded Best First Book at the 1999 World Cookbook Awards.
A single mom, Padma Lakshmi overcame a delicate pregnancy to give birth to a daughter Krishna in February this year. But not before the public ruckus which broke out over her decision not to name the father of her baby. We now know the father is venture capitalist Adam Dell.
