Malia Obama never fails to turn heads on the red carpet, demonstrating her ability to pull off a daring look.
People were talking about her after her recent appearance at the 2024 Deauville American Film Festival in France.
Malia, the eldest child of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, dazzled everyone on Friday, September 6, with an eye-catching attire that showed off her adventurous sense of style.
Malia, who is renowned for experimenting with fashion, did not let her unusual attire disappoint, drawing attention and igniting discussions.
The 26-year-old dazzled spectators with a peek of her toned stomach in a black, gray, white, and red checkered shoulder corset top. She combined this with an asymmetrical skirt in blue and white plaid, highlighting her daring sense of style with the clash of patterns. Malia finished off her ensemble with chic, knee-high black boots that gave her already avant-garde ensemble a bit of edge.
She exuded confidence and sophistication by wearing few accessories and letting her brown goddess braids and natural beauty take center stage.
Although her appearance was well received, it also sparked some humorous remarks on the internet, particularly after Vogue uploaded pictures of the former First Daughter to Facebook. It was impossible for some critics to refrain from calling her ensemble a “tablecloth,” with one remarking, “Looks like she’s wearing a tablecloth and a wrinkled one.”
In a comical way, another person said, “Same cover I have on my dinner table at home.”
The group was even called “a mess” by one critic.
Malia’s supporters, however, swiftly defended her, praising her audacity and uniqueness.

One admirer said, “Beautiful,” obviously amazed.
Another admirer tweeted, “Love that dress!” to show off their enthusiasm.
Her youthful sincerity was acknowledged by others, who commented, “Her look was spot on… Young, sensible, and with a VW vibe… She did it flawlessly!
The admiration didn’t end there. Some followers remarked on her timeless style throughout the years, with one saying, “That’s always been her style.” At least she doesn’t change.
In the midst of the talk over her bold appearance, Malia said she was thrilled to be at the festival in order to promote her short film. In a quick interview, she said, “I’m so excited.” “I mean, it’s exciting, but also a little scary because I’ve never done anything like this.”
Talking about her highly-discussed ensemble, Malia expressed her respect for the renowned designer responsible for the daring style. She grinned and exclaimed, “Vivienne Westwood, queen,” expressing her gratitude for the late designer’s impact.
She went on, “It’s cool.” She said, “I don’t know as much about fashion, but I’m happy to be wearing it,” exuding her signature charm and modesty.
Another significant turning point in the development of Malia’s public persona is her attendance at the Deauville American Film Festival. It happened barely eight months after she made her red carpet debut at the Sundance Film Festival in January, when she was 25 years old, and others criticized her appearance for being “tacky”.
