Sparkly orange is the new black.
"Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi hit the red carpet in a shimmery orange number by Kaufmanfranco on Monday for the the 7th Annual Blossom Ball, and we're in love.
The low-cut dress hugged the 44-year-old's body just right, flattering her curves. But perhaps the most interesting part of the gown was the back, which featured a satin charcoal panel, serving as a nice contrast to the bright hue at the front.
Lakshmi went for an elegant look with her hair worn to the side, accessorized with a flower. Her glossy lips and smokey eyes paired with her minimal jewelry kept the look clean and sophisticated.
Off the carpet, the brunette beauty spent some time with her guy pals Norman Reedus, Christian Slater and Andy Cohen.
The event, a fundraiser for the Endometriosis Foundation of America, is close to the TV personality's heart as she personally co-founded the nonprofit group due to her own struggles with the condition.
She's beautiful inside and out!
Love you, Padma!
