Padma In Ocean Drive: Decoded
Thanks ‘tehreem’ for bringing it to our attention, because we completely missed this spread of Padma.
‘Top Chef’ host Padma Lakshmi graced the February edition of ‘Ocean Drive’ magazine in a wide variety of outfits and bare minimum makeup (or what you might call the ‘no make-up’ makeup). I love her Dolce pic. Verrry fierce!
She also wears the cage sandals from the YSL Spring 2009 collection covered by ‘Fashion Critic‘.

OMG shes rocking the Dolce! frieda wore the same one and i didn’t feel it, but this lady is rocking it! not a fan of those sandals…but she does make em look good, btw she looks alot like malaika arora khan in the cavalli!
saw her in the pantene ad the other day… she looks really amazing. on tv as well as in this shoot.
she’s SO absolutely rocking this spread…!
omg she’s so stunning, i want to marry her!!! lol
i love those YSL shoes!! sighhh :(
Ur welcome people…Great post and thanks for answering my questions reguarding the shoes.
She has a great body and skin and hair but her expression is always very deadpan. If she had a more vibrant personalty, she would carry the clothes even better.
OMG!! She is personifying like 4 different kinds of HOT in this photoshoot.
I mean WOW WOW WOW!!!!
Padma and Lakshmi Menon look so much alike sometimes.
WOW. Love that braid look too.
@ Sonia99,
am in agreement abt the deadpan expression. but i think therein lies the difference between a model and an actor/personality, correct? her expressions make this shoot appear very “stiff”. although i do like the clothes and how she has worn them. is it just me, or does something in her face remind you guys of malaika arora?
i didn’t like her pics, she has the same look in all of them.. although the clothes look great on her.
Hey P & P…whose are the silver flats that Padma has wor in the second last pic? I am in lllloooove with them
Sorry the model…not Padma
SMM,
The sandals are also Cavalli.
Isn’t (wasn’t) she a model though (and then a cook and wife of Salman Rushdie)?
I like them, I think her expression is very intense, but not deadpan- there is something very engaging in her eyes, and in her face in general.
I like this shoot a lot. I love the braid look. Those cage sandals are amazing.
Love Love the Matthew Williamson .. wish it were mine!
Sonia99- totally agree re the deadpan expression. When I watch her on Top Chef I want to shake her a bit! I guess in that way, she resembles Frieda in that her charm lies in that amazing smile (and legs too, in her case!)…
I saw these pics on her website, along with her jewellery collection of which she is wearing her earings and bracelet in the 2 and 3rd pics.
Thanks Payal…now I’m wondering do I save up for these sandals or for my car :P
Beauty!
Wow man, she is sizzling! Her looks on Top Chef are also real great usually!
I absolutely love her on top chef, she’s very articulate and smart.
i agree why the same expression in all of them though??? her charm is definitely in the smile … so why not smile a bit more ?
The woman! The legs! Wow! The clothes are secondary here but the Matthew Williamson is delicate and gorgeous.
She looks a little to pale for me. More skin contrast would have bought the clothes out. I guess they wanted to a white on white photoshoot.
