Padma Lakshmi Looks Effortlessly Chic in Suede Hot Pink Suit

Padma Lakshmi appears to be waking up in her own pink world these days.

The Taste the Nation star stepped out in style while in New York City this week, where she donned an all-pink suede outfit while making her way to the Good Morning America studio on Tuesday, Aug. 15.

Lakshmi's monochromatic look featured chic flare pants and a button-up vest, all topped with a matching blazer jacket. She accessorized with a pair of orange pumps that perfectly complimented the rest of her bright pink ensemble.

"This Barbie is Tasting the Nation," the post was captioned, while fans rushed to the comments to gush over the pink look.

"Looking so amazing 💙✨️💗," one person wrote under the post.

"💗💗💗," another fan appropriately commented.

The 52-year-old model and TV personality appeared on Tuesday morning's GMA episode, where she looked back on her 19 seasons as host of Top Chef.

Lakshmi, who announced back in June that she would be leaving her longtime spot on the show, told GMA hosts Robin RobertsMichael Strahan, and Lara Spencer that what she will miss most about the gig is "the people."

"You know when you spend 17 years on a show, 19 seasons—my daughter grew up on that set—I'll miss almost everybody because they're like family."

"I had no idea when I started Top Chef that it would be this pop culture phenomenon that would change not only the food landscape but also reality television," the mother-of-one continued. "It's such an institution and I'm proud to have built that with the rest of my crew."

"I just needed a change," she added of her reason for leaving the show after so many years.

The Emmy-winning show has since announced previous winner Kristen Kish as the host for the upcoming 21st season.
