Malia Obama is right at home as an Angeleno after relocating to L.A. from the East Coast to work in the TV industry. The former first daughter showed she’s all grown up by wearing a fitted red tank top with no bra underneath with while joining friends for a tapas dinner in Santa Monica, California.

The 23-year-old also donned a long-sleeved shoulder shrug to cover her arms as she and a pal headed to Manchego, a Spanish restaurant two blocks from the Pacific Ocean. Malia paired it with high-waisted jean shorts, chunky black boots and a heavy silver chain necklace while letting her gorgeous curly waist-length hair flow in the wind.

Donald, who also sings and performs under the stage name Childish Gambino, added, “I feel like she’s just somebody who’s gonna have really good things coming soon. Her writing style is great.”

In addition to making her mark in Hollywood, Malia is living her best life in L.A. Her mom, former First Lady Michelle Obama, gushed to Ellen DeGeneres during an April stop by her daytime talk show that both Malia and her sister Sasha Obama, 20, are “doing well” as grown, independent adults and are “just amazing young women.” The world first got to known them as young 10 and 8-year-old girls when their dad, President Barack Obama, won his bid for the White House in 2008.

“They loved the Jonas Brothers. Now they are bringing grown men home,” Michelle jokingly noted, adding, “Before it was just, like, pop bands. Now they have boyfriends and real lives.” Malia has been dating her British boyfriend, Rory Farquharson, since they met at Harvard in 2017.
