It’s no secret that Padma Lakshmi can dominate a red carpet, but she can also steal the show in candid social media pictures too. The 53-year-old Top Chef host looked incredible when she shared a picture of herself posing with her 13-year-old daughter Krishna Thea Lakshmi on Instagram on November 1st, and understandably sent her fans into a frenzy with her age-defying appearance!
In the stunning Instagram picture, the Tomatoes for Neela author could be seen standing against a wall and striking a pose next to her daughter, who she shares with Adam Dell. She was showing off her seemingly endless pins in a tiny black mini skirt, which she accessorized with a fancy metallic top with exaggerated shoulders. However, the pièce de résistance was her dazzling pair of metallic silver ankle boots, which according to her caption, were gifted to her by Steve Madden. Oh to have friends in high places!
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model's daughter, who is looking at her mom in the picture, was also wearing the same pair of boots, which she teamed with a black mini dress featuring a square neckline and semi-sheer puff sleeves. The Easy Exotic author captioned her post, which also featured a close-up picture of the boots: "Thank you @stevemadden for these gorgeous boots!! The perfect pair for both mom and #littlehands! #twinningandwinning #twoofakind"
