Padma Lakshmi, Halsey, Saweetie and Lucy Liu dazzled with high-octane glamour as they led a fleet of celebrities at the latest annual Gold Gala in Los Angeles.
Held in the city’s sprawling Music Center, the dazzling affair is thrown by the nonprofit Gold House and honors Asian-Pacific achievement across various disciplines.
Among the many names being celebrated that evening was Padma, 53, who also put her Top Chef skills to use and planned the fete’s menu with Michelin star chef Vijay Kumar, who is also executive chef at Gold House.
She was a ray of sunshine during the red carpet portion of the event, dazzling up a storm in a strapless highlighter yellow frock that highlighted her fit physique.
With a neckline that plunged far enough to betray only a slight hint of cleavage, the dress featured a thigh-slit that allowed the Chennai-born gourmand to flash a bit of leg.

Meanwhile Lucy, who was also one of the honorees at this year’s Gold Gala, showed off her willowy frame in a sleek jean blue number that cinched tightly in with a glinting black sash.
Sharpening her features with makeup, including a slick of deep pink lipstick that brought out her luminous complexion, Lucy accessorized simply with chain earrings.
Saweetie, who in addition to being an awardee was also scheduled to give a performance at the swank beano, was an unforgettable presence in a see-through green frock worn daringly without a bra.
