Malia hits Manhattan scene

-

MALIA Obama is making the most of her time living in Manhattan after exiting the White House. The former first daughter attended a starry HBO “Girls” premiere, then went dancing into the early hours of the morning.

Malia — who worked as an intern on the HBO series in July 2015 after telling White House guest Lena Dunham she was a fan — joined cast members including Zosia Mamet, Allison Willliams and Jemima Kirke at Cipriani 42nd Street on Thursday night.

Barack Obama’s 18-year-old daughter, wearing a short, loose black dress, was seen chatting with a group of female friends and mixing with guests including novelist Zadie Smith and “SNL” star Aidy Bryant. We were told that “Secret Service agents were all over the place” at the party, but they managed to blend into the crowd of more than 600 guests.

Also there were Allison’s news-anchor dad Brian Williams, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, and fellow “Girls” stars Andrew Rannells and Rita Wilson, plus many members of the media. But nobody was permitted to take a photograph of Malia.

Later, between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., Malia rolled into Lower East Side club and bar Happy Ending. A witness said, “Malia came in with one Secret Service guy, and she was dancing with her girlfriend­s . . . They stayed for about an hour until around 3 a.m. [J.Crew’s] Jenna Lyons was hanging around Malia, trying to look cool.” A second source said an after-party for a New York Fashion Week: Men’s show by Palomo Spain was raging when Malia arrived. “People didn’t approach her. Malia wasn’t drinking, but she looked like she was having a good time with her friends.”

Despite the late night, Malia — who’s taking a gap year before attending Harvard — was photograph­ed arriving later that morning for work. Page Six revealed that Malia is doing an internship for Harvey Weinstein’s company. She wants to become a filmmaker and is working in the Weinstein Co. production offices reviewing scripts before they are put before the movie mogul.
