It’s not hard to find many differences between Donald Trump and Barack Obama. One of the biggest differences is that Obama doesn’t crave the spotlight for himself and his family the way Trump does. Because of that, the Obamas have been enjoying their relative privacy since leaving the White House, and that includes Sasha.
Sasha Obama has always been the most secretive member of the family. With that being said, she is now a grown woman in her own right, and she’s exploring her identity like never before. This includes rocking some awesome looks that threatened to set the fashion world on fire.
What looks has Sasha Obama been rocking, and what has this daughter of a former president been up to? Keep reading to find out!
Growing up with the most protective parents
Ever wonder why you haven’t heard more about Sasha Obama for all these years? The answer is very simple: Barack and Michelle Obama are very protective parents, and they knew that the eyes of the world would be on them as long as they were in the White House. The power couple couldn’t keep the paparazzi from focusing on the family, but they did their best to keep Sasha and her sister away from prying eyes.
Barack and Michelle were always very careful about bringing their children to public events, and the parents laid down the law about their kids not having their own social media accounts. This helped give Sasha as much privacy as possible, though she was also protected by something nobody could expect: Malia Obama’s controversies.

Constantly in her sister’s shadow
These days, Malia Obama doesn’t really generate any controversies. After all, she is a grown woman and Hollywood professional who now works with some fairly big names. This includes collaborating with Donald Glover, an actor and showrunner sometimes better known by his musical alter ego, Childish Gambino.
When she was younger, however, Malia Obama generated major controversy when she was caught in a 2016 Lollapalooza video appearing to smoke marijuana. The drug was completely decriminalized in the state she was in (Illinois), but the internet still lost its collective mind. That was bad news for Malia, of course, but good news for her sister Sasha; thanks to Malia’s exploits, reporters never took a second glance at what Sasha was up to!
Following her educational dreams
While Barack and Michelle Obama might have wanted to keep Sasha young forever, their youngest daughter eventually grew up. That meant she had to move out of the house in order to tackle life’s newest challenge: a college education.
Sasha decided to attend college at the University of Southern California. It’s obvious that her parents respected the choice of institution their daughter made. When Sasha graduated in 2023, Barack and Michelle were in the audience like any other set of proud parents, mingling with friendly moms and dads around them when they weren’t busy cheering for Sasha.

Living with her sister
It was easy for Sasha and Malia Obama to have a great relationship growing up. Almost nobody else could understand what it was like to be the daughter of the most powerful man in the world. In other words, they didn’t really have anyone but each other to cling to for support.
Fortunately, the two maintained a very close relationship long after they moved out of the White House. After Sasha graduated college, she actually moved in with Malia, and the two sisters now live in Los Angeles together.

Rocking some hip-hugger jeans
These days, Malia Obama has fully thrown herself into Hollywood life, and she seems to spend most of her time focused on her career. As for recent college grad Sasha, she seems more interested in not having to worry about her college studies, and she can now concentrate on serving hot looks full-time.
For example, even before she graduated, Sasha showed off her skills as a fashionista in May 2022 when she paired some low-hiphugger jeans with a tasteful beige shirt. Her underwear was peaking out, making this a slightly racy look that raised a few eyebrows. However, it was Sasha’s next look that made the world do a double-take over just how grown-up she really was!

Boots and a bare belly
In January 2024, Sasha Obama and her surprise BFF Maisie Biden (granddaughter of Joe Biden) decided to attend a Saturday Night Live afterparty. Paparazzi snapped a few pics, and for once, we’re grateful. If not for those photographers, we’d never know just how stylish Sasha has become!
She paired a long leather coat with a skirt split provocatively up the thigh, and that exposed skin was a perfect match for her belly peeking out of a crop top. She also rocked some high boots, and the whole aesthetic gave off one unmistakable vibe: that everyone had to get out of the way because a new queen was in town!
