The magazine responded to the claims, originally made by PopEater, insisting that the Top Chef star appears in lighting that may make her look slightly different than normal.
"If her skin appears lighter, it's because we shot her in a brightly lit diner as part of the cover concept," it said in a statement.
"We did our normal colour correcting, which is standard for printing. Padma's skin tone is beautiful, and we did nothing to adjust it."
Lakshmi also voiced her opinion on the shoot, writing on her Twitter page: "Many thx to TVGuide for a great and gorgeous cover. Delightful team, and a really fun and easy shoot (sic)."
