Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi, 43, serves up a another cheeky snap from tropical vacation
She wowed her followers on Wednesday when she shared a sunny bikini-clad photo from a beach in Mexico.
And on Thursday Padma Lakshmi proved she looks good from every angle as the 43-year-old shared another skimpy bikini shot - this time from behind.
The Top Chef judge looked fabulous in the Instagram snap which she captioned: 'Some moments should last forever...#sunset #motherlove'

Looking good: Padma Lakshmi flaunted her fabulous bikini body on Thursday while on holiday in Mexico with daughter Krishna
The brunette beauty is seen holding on to daughter Krishna's hand as they make their way down to the water's edge.
In
her first vacation photo the day before, the mother-of-one shared a picture posing with her bronzed physique on display standing on a
white sandy beach.
For eight years the Indian born stunner has been a host and judge on TV show Top Chef, but being surrounded by all that gourmet food hasn't made a dent in her slim shape.

Burning it off: The former model, seen July 23 at a film screening, has learned how to balance out the gourmet calories - she's frequently seen showing off her svelte physique while heading to and from the gym in NYC

Lakshmi
donned a white string bikini with draping fringe across the bust and
allowed her long brunette tresses to flow in the light ocean breeze.
Her
swimsuit, which showed off her toned arms, abs and legs, perfectly
highlighted her bronzed olive complexion and the star appeared to go
relatively makeup-free for her day by the Mexican shore.
Padma accessorized with a grouping of thick silver bangles on her left wrist and a pair of dark brown aviator sunglasses that she used to protect her eyes from the bright tropical sun.
It must have been a warm day, considering her snap was captioned, 'Hola from sunny Mexico! (Ouch my feet are hot!).'
Hours later, the cookbook author shared a photo of her breakfast, which consisted of freshly made quesadillas with zucchini flower and green salsa verde.
Working
as a host and judge on Top Chef
would surely mean that Padma eats an abundance of rich and delicious
food.
Padma recently told Fitness magazine that she gains and loses 15 pounds with every season of Top Chef.
However, the former model has clearly learned how to balance out the calories - she's frequently seen showing off her svelte physique heading to and from her gym in New York City.
After the show wraps, the beauty follows a 'clean' diet of no sweets, alcohol, cheese or meat to drop the weight.

When she's not indulging, she maintains a garden full of fresh homegrown fruits and vegetables.
She works out at least five days per week, alternating between boxing and lifting weights.
Padma has been quoted as saying: 'I would rather spend half my life at the gym and eat whatever I want than sit on my a** and starve,' and the hard work has obviously paid off.
She
will soon reprise her role as host and judge on the popular TV show
that she has starred in since it's second season in 2006.
The 12th season of Top Chef, set in Boston, will premiere in the fall of 2014.
Padma is a single mom to daughter Krishna.
She has been reportedly dating Richard Gere, but the two have not been spotted together.
Another season: Lakshmi, seen at an NBC event on May 15, will reprise her role on the 12th season of Top Chef premiering in the fall of 2014
