Malia Obama’s style inspiration

As we’ve watched Malia Obama grow up, we’ve started to piece together her sense of fashion style, which is known for its stylish yet comfortable pieces. In August of this year, she was spotted at a Drake event hosted in Los Angeles. She attended with some friends and her sister, Sasha Obama.

Malia wore a cool outfit made out of bold pieces that she paired together, including a gorgeous laced up brown top that has been seen on stars like  Dua Lipa. The top is made by KNWLS and designed by Charlotte Knowles, a designer beloved by multiple celebrities, including the Hadid sisters, Beyoncé, and more.
