Padma Lakshmi 'hasn't lost her touch' as fans praise her hot pink bikini photos
On Thursday, the model and TV host, 54, took to Instagram to share a series of photos of herself sizzling in a hot pink bikini while on the beach. Lakshmi also included a video of her and her dog, Divina, playfully howling for the camera.
"Padma just gets better as the years go by," one fan commented.
"That lady hasn't lost her touch for decades now. Wow Padma, love it," another wrote.
Last year, Lakshmi - who previously partnered with lingerie company Bare Necessities - opened up about her body image and her sex life.
"Look, I'm at my sexual peak," Lakshmi told Us Weekly at the time. "Let's just say what it is. I am. And I feel great about that. I don't care what anybody thinks. I don't care what my mother thinks, unless she's very supportive."
She explained, "I come from a very conservative South Indian family," and noted that she once "really lived in fear."
"I was terrified that my grandfather was going to see those Helmut Newton pictures," she said, referring to an old lingerie shoot by the photographer. "But I am free of all that. I just didn't meet their expectations at all."
During an interview with People last year, Lakshmi discussed how her relationship with her body has changed over the years.
"I feel more confident today than I did when I actually looked perkier, tighter, smaller, in my twenties," Lakshmi told the outlet. "So, I wouldn't change that for the world."
As she's gotten older, the model has learned to love all parts of her body, explaining that she asked photographers not to edit out her scar, inoculation marks and stretch marks, saying she wanted them included "because I have them."
"I wouldn't change having that body and that resume of that 23-year-old, with having the resume I do at 53 with the body of a 53-year-old," she says. "I would much rather stay right where I am. I think that's really important to tell girls and young women. But that's really what gave me confidence."

Shoko Nakagawa calls her twin pregnancy a miraculous blessing
4 Aug - After announcing her first pregnancy, Shoko Nakagawa recently revealed that she is actually pregnant with twins. Sharing the news in an Instagram post on 2 August, the singer-actress shared a photo of her growing belly and said that she had a conversation with an obstetrician and gynaecologist about her twins, fertility treatments and many other things. "It was reported early on that I was having twins, but since I've had two miscarriages in the past, it was a delicate matter to discuss. For now, I just have to do my best to protect the miracle that came my way!" she expressed. Shoko continued, "Life can be happy and sad, but there are miracles and you have to overcome them. Being old and having multiple babies is hard but I want to enjoy life!" It was back in May that the 40-year-old announced that she is pregnant with her first child, after tying the knot in 2023.

Annie Yi annoyed over misconstrued statement about husband Qin Hao
4 Aug - Annie Yi recently expressed ire over netizens and the media misinterpreting her statement about husband Qin Hao. On 2 August, the singer reposted a statement from Qin Hao's studio warning fans to not disseminate false rumours about him, after the topic of "Annie Yi says Qin Hao rarely comes home" became trending on Weibo. "Please stop taking things out of context, okay? It's clear that Mr. Qin has stayed at home for nine months since after the New Year this year and hasn't taken on any acting roles. Not because of anything else, but because he was too busy in previous years. This year, he wants to be more selective with scripts and spend more time with his daughter. So, I also want to stay home and enjoy life as a family of three," she expressed. Annie added, "What era are we living in that people are still distorting facts like this? And there's no legal accountability?" The singer said that there were always provocation and drama in her previous relationship and now all kinds of rumours are being made up about her second marriage. "Can we all just live a little happier and bring some positivity to the world? A bit more blessing, and the world can become brighter. If we raise our energy, we'll live better, more abundantly. As for the rumours, we'll definitely use legal means to defend the truth," she added. The whole issue sparked after Annie revealed in a livestream that her husband had been so busy with filming commitments in recent years that he rarely came home, and her phone is mostly filled with photos of her daughter and herself. At 57, she said that she still feels romantically attached, admitting that she becomes restless if Qin Hao returns to their home in Shanghai. She later explained that she wasn't criticising her husband but expressing how much she cherished her family. (Photo Source: Annie Yi IG)
