But what really caught our attention was Padma's heartfelt message to her fans. "I've been pivoting and plotting the next phase of my life—and it's here now," she wrote. "As I celebrate this birthday, I'm so thankful I'm about to create a new show... and publish my 8th book!"

We can't help but feel like Padma is on top of the world right now! And if you're wondering what's behind her incredible glow, let's just say it has something to do with embracing life after 50.

In an interview last year, Padma opened up about her changing body, saying: "I know that women's bodies change and have different needs. I hope this collection makes you not only look good but feel good."

As the proud owner of a new lingerie line, Padma X Bare Necessities, she's made it clear that her mission is to serve women of all shapes and sizes.

"I've always wanted to do a lingerie line," she revealed. "I designed it for women who might be a little more well-endowed."

And trust us when we say: this stunning collection is NOT just about bras! Padma's carefully curated capsule offering includes loungewear, coverups, and even a zip-up rashguard that's perfect for beachy vibes.

But what really sets Padma apart from other celebrities is her commitment to self-love. "I think putting on a nice piece of lingerie can be a mood-lifter," she shared. "Even if you're in jeans and a T-shirt, it can make you feel dressed up on the inside."

And there's more where that came from! Padma wants women to know that their bodies are beautiful, regardless of age or shape.

"I prize comfort more than I used to," she confessed. "When I was young, I didn't mind wearing uncomfortable things to look good, but now I'm not willing to do that as easily."

So here's to Padma Lakshmi: a true icon, a devoted mother, and a fierce advocate for women's empowerment. Happy birthday, Padma! We can't wait to see what the future holds for this incredible woman!
