It’s difficult not to feel for the children of American presidents who, out of no fault of their own, fall under the scrutiny of the public eye. No such presidential offspring have had to endure the intrusion into their personal lives more than Malia and Sasha Obama.
The daughters of former President Barack Obama maintain a fairly low profile, though they will occasionally tease prying cameras. However, recent photos of Sasha stood out in that the former first daughter is hard to recognize.
“Sasha Obama was nearly unrecognizable in glasses and low slung jeans while out at the University of Southern California campus on Tuesday,” the Daily Mail reported, in sharing the images. “The youngest daughter of former President Barack Obama was seen with a pink top and ripped jean shorts, which hung low enough to reveal a bit of white underwear.”

Sasha is often seen dressing very casually, but it’s likely the black-rimmed glasses throwing people off. One thing appears certain, she inherited the icy glare her mother Michelle Obama is famous for.
It was at USC that Sasha started dating Clifton Powell Jr., 24, who is the son of Ray actor Clifton Powell, according to the Daily Mail.
Other photos of the 21-year-old former first daughter circulated last week, featuring her wearing a revealing belly shirt and maxi skirt while heading to class — Sasha’s ensemble flaunts her midriff.
Hello Magazine touted the fashion display as “Bohemian fashion choices” that were “sure to turn heads.”
“Sasha looked effortlessly cool,” the magazine noted, “wearing a long, tie-dye skirt, and a cropped shirt which she’d made even shorter by rolling it up and tucking it under her bra. She’d paired her look with colorful Nike sneakers and accessorized with bangles, necklaces, rings and a couple of piercings too!”
Others had a different take.
Just because you can doesn’t mean you should … (and isn’t she appropriating white hippie chic hair and dress??) #inappropriate #SashaObama #USC #appropriatingHIPPIEculture pic.twitter.com/ZKYqMOxXE7

She also vaped — frequently, it would appear.

Again, for young adults who do not seek the limelight, the constant snapping of photos at any given moment has got to be quite annoying:
