Padma Lakshmi was spotted arriving 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 at 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 pieces of jewelry and a pair of black pumps. She completed the look with neutral makeup and long tousled locks.
