Padma Lakshmi made heads turn while enjoying a stroll on Wednesday.
The 53-year-old Top Chef veteran — who frequently sheds the layers to pose in sexy lingerie — showed off her curves in a bright blue bodycon dress.
Her sleeveless ensemble clung to her frame boasting a sexy leg slit as she strolled through New York City.
She wore her raven locks loose and accessorized with a dainty silver necklace.
The TV personality paired the look with navy flats and appeared to be in good spirits.

Lakshmi was accompanied by her with her mini-me daughter Krishna, 14, who she recently shared was going off to high school in the Big Apple.
The teenager was born on February 22, 2010 to the model and her boyfriend at the time, venture capitalist Adam Dell.
The pair kept their relationship private, keeping his identity as her father secret for years, but they ultimately parted ways in 2021.
The outing comes just weeks after the cookbook author opened up about dating in her post Top Chef era.
‘You can have it all, but you can’t have it all at once,’ she told Bazaar.
‘I didn’t have a lot of time for a social life,’ she joked of her hectic schedule. ‘When was I going to find somebody I wanted to hang out with?’
The Chennai, India native went on to explain that she is willing to make the time for another romance.
‘Everything’s so open and free or nonexistent or new,’ she told the outlet.
Padma then revealed that she tried to find love on the very exclusive dating app, Raya.
‘When I had my birthday in London in 2022, yet again on set, [designer] Alice Temperley and I were scrolling through her Raya thing, and I’d never seen it,’ she shared.
‘Krishna, out of pity, took my phone and applied. She was like, “Mom, please, you have to do something,”‘ she went on.

The mum-of-one said that she listed herself as being open to both men and women but found that the app couldn’t satisfy her.
‘They’re always jumping out of a plane, skiing, lying on a yacht, or horseback riding, and then they’re brooding, and by the time I’m done scrolling, I’m tired of just looking at you,’ she laughed.
The raven haired beauty explained that she went on three Raya dates but ended up deleting the app.
‘I just want to find the male version of me,’ she finished.
