Padma Lakshmi, 52, and her daughter Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Dell coordinate in LBDs for the 11th Annual Blossom Ball in NYC

Endometriosis Foundation of America co-founder Padma Lakshmi and her daughter Krishna Thea Lakshmi-Dell coordinated in LBDs for the 11th Annual Blossom Ball at Cipriani 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan on Monday.

The Top Chef producer-host – who gains 10 to 15lbs every season – easily defied her 52 years in a disco-style plunging halter gown and croc clutch selected by stylist Faisal Dust.

Hairstylist Reyna G. fastened a white orchid clip in Padma’s shoulder-length raven waves.

Make-up artist William Scott brought out Lakshmi’s beautiful brown eyes and applied pink hues on her eyes, cheeks, and lips.

Meanwhile, the 13-year-old aspiring singer – nicknamed ‘Littlehands’ – wore a strapless mini-dress featuring a feathered train with a choker and kitten heels.

The 14-time Emmy nominee welcomed Krishna with venture capitalist Adam Dell, and she was truly a miracle child considering Padma had been suffering from endometriosis since age 13, which went undiagnosed for 23 years.

‘I was told I’d never be able to get pregnant,’ Lakshmi (born Vaidynathan) recalled to The Guardian last Wednesday.

‘I had one fallopian tube removed. On the other side, I’ve had half an ovary removed. So I really don’t know how that happened. I’m very grateful for that.’

In 2009, the Indian bombshell co-founded EndoFound with advanced gynecological surgeon, Dr. Tamer Seckin, which helped her find her own voice.

‘Through the advocacy, I was able to learn to talk about some very difficult topics – big, personal topics,’ Padma explained.

‘Nobody wants to stand in front of a room and talk about their vagina. But I was so angry about what had happened to me.’

Thanks to appealing charity auction items like an Australian vacation from endo-warrior Bindi Sue Irwin-Powell, the Blossom Ball managed to raise $389,925 on Monday night towards research, training, and advocacy.

And Lakshmi and her not-so-typical teenager watched all the action from table six inside the black-tie gala.

The Blossom Ball honored EndoFound ambassadors Corinne Foxx and Olivia Culpo with awards for their work raising awareness about the painful medical condition, which reportedly affects over 6M American women. 

Olivia – last seen in HBO Max’s The Culpo Sisters – opted for a black-ruffled Zuhair Murad gown selected by stylist Jennifer Mazur.

And while hairstylist Erick coiffed the 30-year-old reality star’s sleek bun, she applied her own make-up in the car on the way to the event.

‘Seeing “endometriosis” in big letters on the wall here makes me feel so hopeful and emotional,’ Culpo wrote via Instastory on Monday.

‘We may not have a cure yet but every bit of awareness is taking us one step closer.’

Miss Universe 2012 was joined at the Blossom Ball by her mother Susan Curran, who introduced her onstage.

Meanwhile, Corinne – who serves as DJ on Fox’s Beat Shazam – looked elegant in a white bejeweled maxi-dress beneath a matching bolo blazer.
