Padma Lakshmi Glowing after Baby and Pregnancy

Lakshmi, pictured here at a previous event, suffers from endometriosis and faced infertility as a result of the condition. She was bedridden for six months of her pregnancy.

"The minute I wasn't bedridden ... I got to work ... I was 25 pounds heavier than people are used to seeing me. There was nothing I could do about it, so I just accepted it," she said at the event, according to "The Huffington Post."

She added, "I just thought, I had a baby, that's way more important. Women are beautiful in all shapes and sizes and I wanted to show women that you can dress well, that you can still feel sexy, that you can still feel confident."

Endometriosis is a condition which affects 70 million women and girls worldwide, according to Endo Resolved, a non-profit group that offers advice and support to women who are diagnosed with the disease.
