Culinary personality, New York Times best-selling author and mom Padma Lakshmi was featured in the 2023 SI Swimsuit Issue, and we are still not over her absolutely breathtaking photos. The 52-year-old was captured by Yu Tsai in the beautiful Dominica.

The creator and executive producer of Hulu’s Taste the Nation spent the bulk of her 20s modeling for major campaigns, but getting her SI Swimsuit opportunity in her 50s just felt “sweeter” and made perfect sense.

“I think that I feel more beautiful now because I hold that strength and I hold the experience in my flesh, in my person and in my spirit,” she said. “I think that has really made me who I am. I’m 52 years old, and I have never felt better about myself. My thighs may have been leaner and my boobs were probably slightly higher in earlier parts of my life, before I had my kid.”

Below are eight of our favorite photos from her SI Swimsuit photo shoot.
