Padma Lakshmi attended the 11th Annual Blossom Ball at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York yesterday hosted by The Endometriosis Foundation of America. Lakshmi, who is the founder of EndoFound, attended the event with her daughter Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Del in a striking black gown.
The activist’s gown was floor-length and sweeping, comprised of a plunging halter-style neckline that fastened in place at the nape and transitioned into a slouchy scooped neck bodice. The skirt of Lakshmi’s dress was breezy and flowing, featuring multiple intersecting lines that traveled down towards the skirt’s hem.
The cookbook author opted to fasten a white flower in her hair and carry a metallic silver crocodile embossed clutch which in turn matched the dangling silver earrings she sported. As for her hair, Lakshmi’s dark tresses were worn down in cascading voluminous waves that framed her features.
Although her shoes weren’t visible under the hem of her gown, it’s likely Lakshmi wore some sort of strappy sandal in a metallic or matt black style, a go-to of hers and many others.
