It Was a Stylish Girls’ Night for the Obamas

Reported by Harper's Bazaar.

A girls' night out with the Obamas is rare enough to qualify as a fashion event — and when Michelle, Malia, and Sasha stepped out for dinner at Beverly Hills hotspot Funke, they did not disappoint. According to Harper's Bazaar, the trio showed up in three completely different aesthetics, and somehow it worked as a cohesive unit. That's just called having taste.

Malia, 27, went full springtime maximalist in a body-hugging black midi halter dress splashed with white florals — then grounded the whole thing with chunky black leather boots and a mixed-print shoulder bag. Pattern clashing done with precision. Her younger sister Sasha, 24, went the opposite direction: oversized denim jacket (unbuttoned just enough to flash a crystal belly ring), loose jeans belted with a brown leather statement piece, and square-toe black flats. She stacked big bangles up her arms, carried a teal bag with silver hardware, and finished with electric blue nails tipped in white and a pink-flush-glossy-lip combo that felt unapologetically Y2K without being costume-y.

Then There Was Michelle

The former First Lady kept it intentionally low-key — a slinky grey-green top, worn-in blue jeans, and a powder-green jacket with a brown collar. A light-brown belt and tan suede bag pulled the earthy palette together into something effortlessly put-together. Off-duty, but still very much on.

The dinner made sense geographically, too. While Michelle and Barack are based in Washington, D.C., Malia and Sasha share a home in Los Angeles, where Malia has built a career as a film writer and director. A Beverly Hills restaurant split the difference — and gave us a masterclass in how three women with completely different personal styles can occupy the same table and make it look like they planned it.

The real takeaway: family dinners hit different when everyone at the table actually has a point of view.
