Viewers all over the world will likely agree that
Giada De Laurentiis has her smile permanently set to stun.
Between her dazzling looks, effortless Italianisms, and culinary chops,
this celebrity chef knows how to capture your attention. Whether De Laurentiis is traveling
across Tuscany with Bobby Flay, or promoting her recent wellness-journey-turned-cookbook,
"Eat Better, Feel Better," De Laurentiis comes off as being pretty much flawless all of the time.
In a recent Instagram post, De Laurentiis stunned followers yet again, but this time
it wasn't the sparkle in her eye or the glare from her bright future that knocked
everyone out. Instead, it was her dedication to hydration, which she emphasized in the caption.
Plus, De Laurentiis' fabulous new kitchen, complete with what can only be described as
"stunning" countertops and a heavy-duty-yet-charming Wolf range
with cherry red knobs, was pretty easy on the eyes, too. One thing's for sure,
whether there's food involved or not, you should never underestimate this chef's ability to wow.
De Laurentiis has been public about the renovations in her life lately,
regarding both the mid-century modern home she purchased in 2019 with the intent to remodel,
and the not-so-nutritious diet she had adopted over years of cooking for a living.
You can't blame followers for wondering if the
gorgeous kitchen De Laurentiis posed in for her most recent update was,
in fact, part of her new abode. Along with a sparkle emoji, one eagle-eyed user commented,
"Pssst is that the new house?"
Not giving much away, De Laurentiis herself would only reply with a smiley face emoji.
Whether it was part of her new house or not, some people simply praised the
beautiful new kitchen, with more than one commenter mentioning the sleek countertops.
But the one comment that might best capture just how stunning
De Laurentiis' new kitchen is came from one Instagram user who wrote,
"Stunning. Just stunning. Isn't she just perfection?"
And before you think that comment was about De Laurentiis herself, the commenter continued,
"Giada my love, with all due respect, please move out of the way so I can
have my way with that gorgeous stainless steel Wolf Range with the red knobs!!!!!"
"And because it's the place I feel the strongest,
the most empowered, the most creative.
It's where I can stand on my own two feet and know who I am, truly."
Clearly, some people are crazy about the look of De Laurentiis' kitchen. Of course,
it's also possible that the post received thousands of likes and over 700 comments
not because of the kitchen itself, but because of De Laurentiis' commitment to better living
through drinking water. The chef ponders aloud in the caption of her Instagram post,
"Tell me I'm not the only one using a bottle like this to stay on track??"
De Laurentiis' caption references the large Nalgene bottle, half-full of water, that she
is holding in the photo as her seemingly mile-wide smile complements the kitchen that caught so many
eyes. Many fans enthusiastically bought into the hydration public service announcement.
One person decided to share their own hydration habits, writing,
"I make a 3 liter of lemon water every morning and make sure it's empty by evening."
Even De Laurentiis seemed impressed by that one,
responding to the post with an emoji of her own. A proud Nalgene user also informed the chef,
"Got my nalgene right here."
That particular comment prompted the official account for Nalgene
to post emoji hands of gratitude in reply.
Clearly, fans of de Laurentiis couldn't help but wonder what the real intention of the post was.
Could it really be just a simple reminder to her followers to stay hydrated and show off her smile?
Or is it actually a sneaky way to show off De Laurentiis' new kitchen before the official
renovation reveal? It's worth keeping in mind that De Laurentiis has been working on her
dream kitchen remodel since at least February 2021. But since she's all about achieving the
right balance with food and in life, it seems entirely plausible that this was a sincere PSA
that De Laurentiis counterbalanced with countertops and a Wolf range,
knowing full well that they would leave her fans thirsty for more.
