Padma Lakshmi was spotted at the AOL studios to attend the AOL Build Speakers Series in New York City on Tuesday.
The Indian-born “Top Chef” host discussed the season finale of the reality TV cooking competition show as well as her debut memoir “Love, Loss and What We Ate” (available on Amazon), which was released on International Women’s Day.

The 45-year-old author, model, and TV host opted for a casual chic look, teaming a loose-fitting sweater top with a pair of cuffed jeans.

She glammed up the low-key ensemble with a few jewelry pieces and black pumps. The 5ft 9 (175.3 cm) tall television personality completed the look with neutral makeup and long tousled locks.

Padma picked a pair of pumps from Saint Laurent. They are made of black leather and feature pointed toes and about five-inch chunky wooden heels.

These Saint Laurent pumps are no longer available.
