Padma Lakshmi thrilled her 1 million Instagram followers on Thursday evening with a tantalizing photo in which she wore a revealing bathing suit that displayed her incredible physique. She also injected a little humor into the post by participating in the viral celebrity trend inspired by the seasonal Christmas character “elf on the shelf,” in which participants create a meme of themselves paired with a person or object that rhymes with their name.
Fittingly, the food expert and host of Emmy award-winning Top Chef chose a tiny image representing a sumptuous cured meat to complete her rhyming phrase. The sultry bikini photo showed Padma with a miniature leg of proscuitto di Parma Photoshopped onto her right shoulder.
