The Obama Girls: Poised to be Trendsetters

Are the Obama girls making a name for themselves in the fashion world?
By Essence · Updated October 29, 2020

Dubbed “trendsetters in training” by Women’s Wear Daily (WWD), Malia, 10, and Sasha Obama, 7, are establishing what little girls around the country want to wear. The two are taking notes from their stylish mother, Michelle, who has helped cultivate their youthful fashion sensibility. The girls chose affordable-priced dresses for their Election Day appearance. According to WWD, “Malia chose a red dress by Biscotti for $110 and Sasha chose a $75 Iris & Ivy dress.” The country will be watching the darling duo as they blossom into fashion icons.
