As the eldest of the Obama sisters, Malia was the first to carve out her own path.

Let’s take a look at Malia Obama’s impressive post-White House style transformation.

Brace yourselves, it’s an epic mix.

During this time, Malia was photographed pounding the pavement in the Big Apple, nailing casual chic style.

The slightly bedraggled yet uber-cool look was an ode to her life at the time.

Unlike some of the movement’s most iconic faces, the fashion of the era is immortal.

We’re here for it, and in 2018, so was Malia Obama.

His beat-up Vans sneakers, black jeans, and sunglasses set the stage perfectly for Malia’s look.

Malia wore her black tresses loose around her shoulders, adding to the slightly breezy, devil-may-care aesthetic.

By this point, Malia’s fashion preferences were already showing.

You know what they say if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it!

If you’re a grunge girl to the core, why change to suit the weather?

Just ditch the tights.

Malia wore high-waisted, wide-legged beige pants with a grey cropped hoodie that rose just above the navel.

Instead of a Birkin bag, she wore a simple canvas tote with green writing.

Growing up in the White House, Malia is probably immune to unwanted attention.

It’s not often we see Malia this playful with her everyday style.

It’s giving corporate grunge, so perhaps there was more to the day than meets the eye.

She wore a button-down shirt and a long, grey oversized cot with burgundy leather boots.

This time, Malia did accessorize, but she kept it low-key with a thin, grey scarf.

Her wavy hair fell way past her shoulders, but it was really her smile that stole the show.
