She was in good company on the night as Game Of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie was in attendance, alongside actress Christina Hendricks.
As television's reigning culinary queen, Padma Lakshmi must be used to the effects airplanes can have on one's appearance.
The 45-year-old Top Chef host made the beauty salon a priority after she flew into Los Angeles International Airport from New York City earlier on in the day.

Christian Siriano was the winner of Project Runway US and started his own line with the winnings. Since then he's been showing at NYFW, carried at Neiman Marcus (head over to the right to check out his current offerings), and collection red carpet fans like Christina Hendricks. He's known for his feminine flourishes and incredible shapely tailoring.
This piece is a perfect example of his style. Girly but still polished, you could wear this to a cocktail party or wedding. Christina's been a loyal fan since the begingin so it's so surprise this one is custom made.

Padma was dressed down for her beautifying visit but sultry nevertheless in belted jeans and a plain scoop-necked white T-shirt that showcased her shapely figure.
Not long afterwards, she emerged from the session smiling and radiant, and her waist-length hair looked ravishing as well.
Padma's shining locks were let loose as she crossed a car park, a black leather bag slung over her arm.
The mother-of-one decorated her décolletage with a double layering of necklaces, and there was a chic watch on her wrist as well.

Just the day before, Padma had attended the New York City premiere of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games with her five-year-old daughter Krishna.
On that occasion, Padma looked elegant in a white top and skirt set that allowed a glimpse of her toned tummy, along with red heels and red clutch.

'I rule the world with a wooden spoon,' Padma recently told The New York Post with a tinge of humour.
That's not exactly an understatement considering her food and home accessory empire.
Not only does she helm the Padma’s Easy Exotic brand, which is sold at Whole Foods and other supermarkets, she also has developed dining decor The Padma Collection now sold at Macy's, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom
