Barack Obama’s daughter Malia made headlines in Los Angeles when she stepped out after a workout, showing off her toned abs in a casual athleisure look. The 27-year-old grabbed coffee after her yoga session and kept her outfit simple yet striking.
Here’s what we know about her look, the brand behind it, and how fans reacted online.
Malia Obama spotted after her yoga session in LA
Malia Obama stepped out in Los Angeles earlier this week after a yoga class.
The 27-year-old director grabbed coffee wearing flared yoga pants, a black zip-up hoodie, and a pink and red sports bra with an abstract design. She finished the look with black leather clogs from Spanish brand Camper, white socks, and her auburn hair worn loose.
Backgrid USA published the photos on August 25, capturing Obama leaving her class and walking through Los Angeles. She carried a coffee cup and avoided eye contact with photographers, keeping a neutral expression as paparazzi followed her.
The photos prompted online discussions after circulating on social media. Some users drew comparisons between Malia and her mother, Michelle Obama, with one comment reading, “She looks just like Michelle!” Others criticized her casual look, with remarks such as, “Grueling and Yoga do not coincide.” and “Why is she so angry?” Fans quickly defended her, pointing out that she was photographed immediately after exercising. Responses included, “Because she is just after a workout class,” and “Leave her alone.”
A few days ago, rumors regarding Malia Obama getting arrested for shoplifting in Bel Air also gained traction. However, no official record to support these claims has been found.
Malia Obama graduated from Harvard University in 2021 and has pursued a career in film under her professional name, Malia Ann, since 2024. Her sister, Sasha, completed her sociology degree at the University of Southern California in 2023 and has since returned to school, according to Michelle Obama.
