If you’re dying to see one hot chef shedding her clothes off then don’t miss Padma Lakshmi on the cover of a magazine. Model-turned-cooking-show-host Lakshmi has said before that she loves herself most when in the nude. And now she gets to do just that, and share the pleasure with everyone else.

Wearing nothing but flawless skin and jewelry, Lakshmi sizzles on the photo shoot. Lakshmi loves the honesty that comes with having no clothes on, being able to be in one’s truest self.  She said that one puts a character on with clothes. So to be true to her form, Lakshmi goes nude with her 6-month old baby bulge.

Lakshmi is not one of those models who usually get very conscious of their body weight. She says she’s unable to exercise due to stress.

Lakshmi is not disclosing who is the father of her child. That is one aspect of her pregnancy which she refuses to talk about.
