Sasha Obama may have opted for casual attire for her recent jet-setting adventure, but her nails were far from low-key.
The 22-year-old daughter of Michelle and Barack Obama was photographed striding through the airport in Los Angeles after flying in from New York.
She donned casual sweatpants and a cropped t-shirt for the journey, and opted for chunky clogs and her trusty Telfar bag.
Sasha may have flown under the radar with her everyday look, however her super long, neon nails were hard to miss as they stood out against the neutral hues of her outfit.
She appeared to be traveling solo as she returned home to California where she lives with her sister Malia, 25.
Sasha has inherited her parent's height. IMDB.com lists her as standing 5ft 11 inches tall, which is the same as her mom. (snip)
Sasha carries her height with confidence, while Michelle has confessed to being uncomfortable with her own stature when she was growing up. (snip)
In a personal essay for British Vogue, she further detailed her angst when she wrote: "I was tall. And tall became something to contend with. Tall stood out. 'Tall' became the label that got attached to me first, and it stuck with me right through."
She said she "showed up tall for kindergarten," and topped out at where she is now at the age of 16.
While it was a lengthy journey to accepting and being comfortable in her own skin, she said she eventually found it.
"I'm tall and that's a good thing," she added. "I'm a woman and that's a good thing. I'm Black and that's a good thing. I am myself and that is a very good thing."
Michelle appears to have instilled that confidence into her children, Sasha and Malia.

Was that MO quoted there or the daughter?
She probably has a butler for that.
I was about to remark on her expression, or lack thereof, then I realized she’s probably just sick and tired of having a camera ‘shoved in her grill’ literally everytime she turns around in a public place. I get it, Sasha. Stop bothering the kids, Mr. Photographer. They don’t owe us anything.
Were it me as a young person, I would be tempted to carry a (filled) Squirt Gun, just to rock the boat. Maybe even a Super Soaker!
With all due respect, the poor girl cannot help her breeding....
Great look, pajamas, bare stomach with a navel ring. Classy.
Statuesque, if the statue is of a manatee.
“statuesque physique”
Me, too. I thought I’d see tall, trim, slender, well toned, fit…not one of those descriptors fit..
Chunky, scowly, rolly-polly…ugh
Imagine someone putting a snapshot of you on the internet.
Not right.
“Personally I think she’d look a lot better if she smiled.”
I doubt that she posed for that picture. The press should leave these children of famous people alone unless they seek publicity.
I don’t know how these women function with 10 daggers at the ends of their fingers. I hate to be base, but how they take care of bathroom hygiene is beyond me. Just ew.
Not as pretty as Big Mike, but who is? /s
I guess you are right, that was Michelle, not the daughter.
At least I read the personality and type of person who would say those words, Michelle has lived the life I was predicting would come from those words.
Did they also change the definition of neon? Those are far from neon nails
Statuesque equals Venus di millio. This is warthog on display
I see she has “mother’s” fashion sense.
not every woman dresses or does her nails to please random men.
Whoever had to write something such as this has a pretty sad life.
Overweight, hooker nails, gut sticking out with hardware.
Didn’t need that mental image.
That’s not statuesque. She’ll be clocking 225 in just a few years.
