Malia Obama's shoe game remains unmatched. After giving clogs her stamp of approval, the director is now approving another reigning shoewear trend: ballet flats, and pairing them with the perfect nighttime summer uniform.

On June 9, 2025, Malia Obama was spotted leaving dinner with a friend in Los Feliz wearing a pair of black patent ballet flats in a Mary Jane style. Obama's choice of footwear is the perfect medium between casual and formal, and gives her outfit a coquettish touch without going overboard. By now, we know Malia Obama loves a carryall bag, and she showed off another one in her collection: a large burgundy bag with tied-up handles.

Known to nail a transitional outfit, Obama paired her burgundy bag and Mary Jane flats with a ‘fit that’s perfect for a breezy summer night in California, where temperatures dip a little, but it's still somewhat humid. She opted for a black light cardigan vest, which she wore buttoned up over a white baby t-shirt, paired with flowy, wide-legged black pants, which could potentially be linen. She added a summery touch wearing blue-tinted sunglasses perched on her head. Notes are being taken!
