Malia Obama, recognized as a burgeoning style icon, once again captivated the public’s attention with a bold makeover. The 25-year-old former first daughter, known for her signature waist-length brown locks, was recently seen in Los Angeles sporting a stunning auburn hair transformation. Her new look, featuring hair cut to the middle of her back, was unveiled alongside a fashion-forward ensemble.
Malia made her stylish debut in the City of Angels donning brown pinstripe pants, a gray tank top with delicate spaghetti straps, and a white cardigan, maintaining a natural, makeup-free appearance. She effortlessly rounded off her look with black boots, perfectly suited for a casual movie outing with a red-haired friend.
Internet buzz quickly surrounded her transformed appearance, with one commenter praising the change as “very flattering,” while another remarked that she appeared “a lot more polished” with her new hairstyle.
Following their affectionate hug, Malia returned to her car, where she was photographed briefly resting her head on the steering wheel before driving off.
This is not the first time Malia showcased her striking new look. Just a day prior, she was photographed leaving a talent agency, displaying her vibrant red hair while dressed in gray pants and an oversized brown jacket. Her red locks gracefully cascaded down her shoulders, complemented by her classic large black bag slung over her shoulder.
Malia’s recent fashion statements have not gone unnoticed. Just weeks ago, she sent shockwaves through the internet when she was captured taking a break outside an L.A. convenience store. In this instance, she wore a cropped cardigan, high-waisted pleated menswear-style wool slacks, and lug-soled black boots. The outfit drew comparisons to Lisa Bonet’s iconic style from her ‘A Different World’ era, solidifying her status as a fashion inspiration.
Blake Thornton, a popular Black Tiktoker known for his sharp-witted commentary, remarked about the iconic nature of Malia’s smoking break photo, saying, “This picture of Malia Obama is quietly iconic. I know this picture is an inspiration to little brown girls around the world.”
Though it may seem somewhat trivial to track the trends of the Obama sisters, the public’s fascination is not unwarranted. Malia and her younger sister, Sasha, grew up under the spotlight, but their formative years were largely shielded from the public eye. Their recent forays into the fashion world and individual style evolution have understandably piqued the curiosity of those who have watched them grow into their own fashion icons since leaving the White House nest.
