Padma Lakshmi ‘hopes’ to beat Martha Stewart Sports Illustrated Swimsuit record
Padma Lakshmi Eyes a Place in SI Cover History
Television personality Padma Lakshmi has set her sights on making history as the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model in the brand’s history. She hopes to break the record that fellow food expert Martha Stewart set earlier this month at the age of 81. In an exclusive interview with Page Six Style, Padma Lakshmi revealed her hopes for the future, stating: “I mean, listen, if I’m still doing covers like she is at 80 plus. I mean, God, more power to her. And she’s always been someone I’ve admired, so why should this be any different?”

The 52-year-old television celebrity has also been named as one of TIME 100’s Most Influential People and has just begun airing the second season of her Emmy-nominated cooking and travel show, “Taste the Nation.”
