Pregnant Padma Lakshmi poses naked for magazine

The 'Top Chef' presenter is seen sitting and bending both of her knees to cover the front part of her body while offering sharp look to the lens through her right shoulder on the cover of Page Six Magazine, Aceshowbiz reported.

In a photo featured inside the magazine, Padma is also seen impersonating 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus' notorious pose for Vanity Fair.

"I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way ... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide," Padma tells the magazine.
The 39-year-old star, who once was married to award-winning author Salman Rushdie, also says that she's still reassembling her life after their split in 2007.

"I [have been] reconstructing my life and putting it back together in a way that looked more appropriate to who I was. At this point in my career, I'm still growing. Jewels, spices and teas – I sound like Magellan," she says.
Padma has not yet revealed the identity of her baby's father.
