Padma Lakshmi was recently critiqued for going braless during an Instagram Live cooking tutorial.
But the 49-year-old model continued to take jabs at her baseless critics on Sunday by sharing a portrait of herself confidently standing in her living area with a black bra encapsulating her controversial assets.
‘Caption this. Miami Vice 2020: Fighting crime while fully supported,’ wrote Lakshmi, who layered up her look with a striking lime green and black windbreaker.

A slew of gold necklaces hung down from her neck and highlighted her enviable décolletage.
