Legs eleven! Padma Lakshmi braves the cold in bold black coat and clingy trousers for solo NYC outing
She's a busy mother and television personality.
But on Thursday, Padma Lakshmi carved out some time to herself as she was spotted solo running errands in the Soho neighborhood in New York City.
The 47-year-old, who has seven-year-old daughter Krishna, showed off her slim legs in dark colored trousers while adding a heavy coat.

The best-selling author flaunted her toned legs in her flared merlot red bottoms while staying warm in her textured cover up.
Padma hit the pavement in boots with large framed sunglasses to round out her look.
The dark-haired beauty, who carried a large handbag, opted to go makeup-free to flaunt her stunning features.
Padma styled her locks in waves with a slightly off-center part.

Padma spoke to Bravo's The Daily Dish earlier this month about Krishna's interests.
'She is very actively pursuing her development in music outside of school, that's what she's interested in,' the New York Times best-selling author revealed.
The Top Chef star said that she didn't foresee Krishna following in her foodie footsteps.

'She always likes to make up recipes cause she sees me doing it, but it's not like, "Oh, I'm gonna be a chef.'"
Padma noted that she does not permit her daughter, whose father is venture capitalist Adam Dell, to cook with heat or use knives, but she's 'great' at preparing salads and desserts.
'She's a good cook, she wants to eat well, she likes to cook for fun, but I doubt she's going to go into the culinary arts and that's OK,' said the 5ft9 star.

Padma, who was born in Chennai, India, was asked by the network about her rekindled romance with Dell, and said that she's 'happy with everything right now' in her love life.
'I have nothing to complain about,' said the TV star, who was reticent to put labels on where she's at in her relationship with Dell.
'We date, I don't know guess you can call it dating,' said Padma, who was famously married to Satanic Verses author Salman Rushdie, 70, from 2004 until 2007. 'We make dinner for our kid and hope she goes to sleep soon, so we can have a few hours before we flake out and collapse from exhaustion too.'
