Malia Obama, daughter of former U.S. President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, made her highly anticipated red carpet debut last week at the Sundance Film Festival. She was all smiles at the premiere of The Heart on Thursday, January 18, alongside her colleagues.
Malia caught the attention of both fashion enthusiasts and film fans with her distinctive style. She opted for a bold look, wearing a long, oversized gray coat paired with a casual striped blue shirt and knee-high boots. As with many female celebrities, the online community quickly weighed in on her appearance, with reactions being somewhat mixed.
After Good Morning America shared a photo of Malia’s outfit on Instagram, many users praised her “classy look” and “unique style.” However, others were less enthusiastic, with some suggesting she “needs a wardrobe consultant,” while others critiqued her outfit as “tacky” or “thrifty.” Despite the fashion chatter, her red carpet moment wasn’t just about what she wore.
At 25, Malia is making significant strides in Hollywood, having contributed to the writers’ room for Donald Glover’s upcoming Amazon series. Glover himself praised Malia, calling her an “amazingly talented person” and describing her as just like any other writer in the room. Malia’s journey into the film industry started with internships and a production assistant role, and she recently made her writing debut on Glover’s Prime Video series Swarm, where her work has been met with praise.
