Sasha Obama has gained a diploma - and apparently lost her desire to wear shoes, at least if her latest public outing in Los Angeles is anything to go by.

The former first daughter, who recently celebrated her graduation from USC alongside her parents Barack and Michelle, was seen taking a barefoot stroll through LA yesterday, while clutching onto a chunky pair of sandals.  

Sasha graduated earlier this month from the University of Southern California, having transferred to the school from the University of Michigan, following her older sister Malia to the West Coast, where the pair have been living together in an apartment.

The 21-year-old, who majored in sociology, has clearly been enjoying post-collegiate life, having been seen just a few days ago driving around with a lit cigarette in her hand - and now out for an ultra-casual walk back to her car following an outing with some friends.

Sasha graduated earlier this month from the University of Southern California, and her parents, 44th president Barack and Michelle, were there to cheer her on

The new graduate went for a very casual look, sporting a simple grey T-shirt and a pair of dark-wash jeans, which she paired with a tan purse that was slung over her shoulder. 

Rather than wearing her shoes on her feet however, Sasha chose to carry them in her arms, along with a sweater and the keys to her car which she was seen climbing into after strolling across the street.  

Sasha wore her long black hair down as she strutted across the street. 

The 21-year-old was then seen getting into her car.

Sasha recently completed her studies at USC - with her parents traveling to California to watch their daughter graduate from the prestigious school, where she studied sociology.

The former first couple was joined by their daughter Malia and their Secret Service agents as as they cheered on their youngest child from their seats.

And in the short while since she completed her college education, Sasha has been making the most of her free time.  

Just last week, she was pictured holding a lit cigarette while donning baggy denim overalls as she made a Starbucks run.

Her father, Barack, has previously spoken out about his own smoking habit and his struggle to quit.

In his 2020 memoir, A Promised Land, he admitted he would sometimes smoke eight, nine, or 10 cigarettes a day, and look for a 'discreet location to grab an evening smoke.'

He credited his eldest daughter, Malia, with getting him to quit, writing she 'frowned' at him after 'smelling a cigarette on my breath.'

He said he 'ceaselessly' chewed nicotine gum to stop.

Barack began smoking as a teen and promised his wife, Michelle, he would quit before he campaigned for president. 

'As a former smoker I constantly struggle with it,' the then-president admitted during a press conference in 2009.

'Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I daily smoker, a constant smoker? No. I don't do it in front of my kids. I don't do it in front of my family. And, you know, I would say that I am 95 per cent cured, but there are times where there are times where I mess up.'

In 2011, Michelle said during a White House interview that her husband had quit smoking, adding that she was very proud.

At that point, he had stopped the habit for almost a year.

Sasha's older sister Malia, 24, has also been seen puffing a cigarette in the past.

Back in April 2022, she was pictured smoking with Sasha's 26-year-old boyfriend Clifton Powell Jr., son of Ray actor Clifton Powell.
