The Indian-born beauty wasn't afraid to flaunt it, letting her loose linen dress fall open to reveal her full breasts and bronze chest.

A gold necklace dangled between her cleavage, adding another sultry touch to the post she captioned '#NoFilter.'

And while Padma is relaxing in paradise with her pride and joy, a legal dispute between her show Top Chef and five Boston teamsters is currently playing out in a Massachusetts court.

The labor dispute claims the union members harassed Top Chef's crew and talent while the cooking competition show at the Steel & Rye Restaurant in Milton, Massachusetts back in 2014.

According to the indictment, a member of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters reached into Lakshmi's chauffeured van and threatened to 'smash her pretty face,' also calling her a 'f****** w****.'

The indictment claims the teamsters demanded union members be hired as drivers for the show and then threatened and harassed the crew for the show's non-union production company.

Everyone involved in the show - including Indian-born host and judge Lakshmi - was subjected to vile abuse over the two-week shooting period.

Teamster John Fidler and fellow Local 25 members Daniel Redmond, Michael Ross and Robert Cafarelli face extortion charges and a potential 20-year prison sentence in a trial starting on July 31.
