Spotlight on 12 year-old Style-Icon Sasha Obama and
15 year-old Student-Athlete Malia Obama
Sasha Obama, has been dubbed a
“budding style-icon" by the media after many of the alternative and unique
clothing items she’s worn in public immediately sell out after a photo of her
hits the web, such as the green “dancing Pandas” sweater from Urban Outfitters
pictured above. Sasha drew accolades for her outfit to the Thanksgiving Day
Turkey Pardoning this past November, where she paired a green knit sweater
featuring cute dancing pandas from Urban Outfitters with red skinny jeans, a purple
scarf, punk-rock 90s-inspired Dr Martens
boots and polished the look off with an elegant navy coat.
Sasha is pushing the boundaries on what is
considered “elite” fashion and making quite the impact in her affordable and
alternative fashion sense. The now infamous $18 “unicorn motif sweater”
from ASOS, pictured below, forced the company to reissue the sweater after
being floaded with “requests from shoppers keen to replicate the youngster’s
look,” according to The Daily Mail UK.
Sasha’s style has drawn a large response from the fashion community on Twitter
and the blogosphere.
Malia Obama is now 15 years old, a
tennis star and excellent student at her prestigious high school. Malia,
described as “lawyerly,”
by her father to People Magazine seems to be leading the way to bright future as she excels
academically and on the tennis court while balancing preparing to apply to
college. The President did admit that she has even begun to date but joked that
if anything goes wrong, “[he] has men with guns following them around all the
time," according to Time.
It’s clear that the Obama daughters are
setting the agenda for the future and leading the way in keeping their parents
in the loop. President Obama admitted
that he and Michelle listen to their daughters when it comes to knowing what’s
new and progressive, including introducing her father to alternative social
media sites such as, Instagram and Vine.
“They have tons of
opinions,” Michelle Obama told People. “And it’s a joy to hear them think out
loud about life. They’re growing into really interesting individuals.”
