Malia Obama's sweet 16 is on the Fourth of July, so we can wish her and The United States a very happy birthday all at the same time. Thanks for being so convenient, daughter of the president! And, of course, we've been watching style choices since 2009 when her father, Barack Obama, took office and she and the rest of her super stylish family started being constantly photographed.

From color coordinating to accessorizing, Malia is never one to disappoint in the style department. Watch your back, Michelle, there's about to be a new Best Dressed Obama in the White House.

In addition to traveling around the world with her diplomatic family, Malia's already landed a TV internship working on the set of Extant, the upcoming CBS sci-fi series starring Halle Berry.
