After Drake dubbed her a ‘style popper’ Sasha has stepped out as a fully fledged fashionista since reportedly moving across the country to enroll in University of Southern California

Malia and Sasha Obama had to grow up in the public eye thanks to their parents, former US President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama, but they appear to have done it in style.

After the Obamas were spotted enjoying a family holiday in December, Sasha and Malia re-emerged in Los Angeles – highlighting just how much the sisters have changed since they left the White House in 2017.

From their bold fashion choices (even approved by Drake) to making big moves across the country, here’s how the former first daughters have moved on.

Both sisters appear to have moved to LA

Recent sightings suggest that the Obama daughters are both based in Los Angeles.

The pair were pictured separately but it’s believed the sisters – who were raised in Chicago – are permanently living away from their parents, who have remained in Washington after Barack’s presidency.

It comes after the young ladies spent lockdown at home with their parents and Malia’s boyfriend Rory Farquharson moved in with the former first family. But it’s unclear where Malia’s British beau is now, or if they’re still together, after Barack admitted that coronavirus travel restrictions may have made things tricky with his US visa.

Sasha has switched universities

Sasha, 20, reportedly left university at Michigan State and enrolled in the University of Southern California. It had been unclear what Sasha was pursuing in her studies in Michigan and it remains under wraps if she’s following the same path after transferring schools.

Her big sister Malia graduated from Harvard Law School last year and now works in the entertainment industry.
