Michelle Obama Turns Heads Over ‘Weekend Outfit’, Some Call It ‘Inappropriate’
Note: we are republishing this story, which originally made the news in January 2018.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama and her eldest daughter, Malia, were the picture of relaxation during a weekend escape to Miami Beach, where they were spotted enjoying the sun and sand in effortless style.
The pair, joined by close friends including former senior White House advisor Valerie Jarrett and Secret Service agents, drew attention as they made their way off the beach on a quiet Saturday afternoon. Michelle, then 53, exuded casual elegance in a white bikini top paired with high-waisted white denim shorts. She walked barefoot across the sand, holding her shoes in hand, her look completed by a long white blouse, a patterned bandanna, and large gold hoop earrings.
Beside her, Malia kept her outfit understated yet chic, wearing a tan hoodie over the top of her bikini with black swim bottoms visible underneath. She carried her white sneakers, phone, charger, and a book — embodying the laid-back energy of a student on winter break.
The outing appeared to be a girls’ day, as former President Barack Obama was not seen with the group. The two women seemed at ease, enjoying the warmth and privacy of Miami’s sandy coastline. Their beach day attracted plenty of admiration from onlookers, who praised their grounded demeanor despite global recognition.
Later that evening, the mother-daughter duo swapped their beach attire for dinner-ready looks, continuing their weekend outing in style.
