2024-12-16
Padma Lakshmi, a renowned author and TV host aged 54, recently provided a peek into the fashion battles taking place within her household. Her 14-year-old daughter, Krishna, has started taking clothes from her closet and wearing them in a way that doesn't quite meet mom's expectations.
Unraveling the Fashion Disputes within Lakshmi's Home
Section 1: The Fashion Stealing Incident
In a video posted by Lakshmi on December 14th to social media, she can be seen in her kitchen with Krishna. Krishna proudly announces that her jeans and top are from mom's closet. Lakshmi remarks, "Wearing all my clothes today." This simple statement sets the stage for the fashion conflict that follows. It shows how Krishna has begun to explore and appropriate her mother's wardrobe.However, Lakshmi quickly realizes that she doesn't like how Krishna is wearing the wide-leg jeans extremely low-rise and the cropped shirt above her belly button. This realization leads to a series of attempts by Lakshmi to make some tweaks to the look.Section 2: The Mother-Daughter Fashion Dilemma
Krishna is as horrified as one would expect a 14-year-old to be when their mom starts interfering with their fashion choices. As Lakshmi starts digging in the kitchen's junk drawer, Krishna expresses her reluctance to have her jeans rubberbanded or Ziploc bagged. Lakshmi assures her that she won't use those methods and instead pulls out a clip. Krishna worries that it will be a "chip clip," highlighting the generational gap in fashion preferences.After Lakshmi clips Krishna's pants a little higher on her waist, she tries to make Krishna feel better by saying, "That's still very attractive." But Krishna immediately rips the clip off and pulls the pants down lower on her waist, showing her determination to stick to her own style.Section 3: Family Moments and Graduation
Lakshmi shared a rare photo on Instagram over the summer to commemorate Krishna's middle school graduation. In the caption, she expressed her disbelief that her baby girl is off to high school. She also thanked the teachers, educators, counselors, security, and staff at the United Nations School for taking care of Krishna over the years.She continued to praise Krishna for all her achievements in her young, happy life and gave special thanks to the theater department at UNIS and the parents association. This shows the other side of their relationship, where Lakshmi is proud of Krishna's accomplishments and values the support system around her.
