Malia Obama Embraces Bold Red Hair in Stylish New Look

Malia Obama isn’t shy about switching up her style—whether it’s a new career move or a fresh hair color. The daughter of Barack and Michelle Obama recently stepped out in Los Angeles after a yoga class, showcasing her boldest red hair yet. The rich, rusty hue was styled in braids pulled back into a low ponytail, complementing her vibrant tangerine yoga mat.

Malia’s fashion sense embodies Gen Z’s signature trends—think relaxed silhouettes, vintage pieces, and playful pattern mixing. Her beauty choices follow suit, often featuring loose curls, box braids, and various shades of red. For her directorial debut, The Heart, at the Deauville American Film Festival, she wore a Vivienne Westwood dress with brick-toned braids. While she’s experimented with blonde highlights in the past, she’s recently cycled through cherry red, warm auburn, and now this striking rusty shade, enhanced by intricate braiding.
