When you're as powerful as the Obama family, one would assume the price tag of the kids' wardrobes would be the equivalent of a year's worth of rent. Well, think again. The first daughters have routinely proved that you don't need to spend a lot to look like a million bucks. A classic example of this: the family's trip to the Nickelodeon 25th Annual Kids' Choice Awards in March 2012. Sasha and Malia donned affordable and chic ensembles by U.K. online shopping brand ASOS. According to NBC News, Malia's leather belt retailed for about $36 and Sasha's mono print dress cost about $75.

Sasha and Malia had everyone asking, "Where does the time go?" when they appeared at the 2012 Democratic National Convention looking poised and oh so sophisticated. Gone were the doll-like pink dresses of their first inauguration. For this occasion, Malia, 14, continued to prove she is the spitting image of her mother in a chic blue dress by H&M and nude ballet flats. Sasha solidified her standing as the most fashionable 11-year-old in the world in a printed dress by Anthropologie, paired with a studded yellow belt and silver flats.

At the start of President Obama's second term in office, it was remarkable to witness just how much the first daughters had grown up in four short years. Entering the inaugural ceremony in complementary coats, Malia wore J.Crew while Sasha opted for Kate Spade. The two looked incredibly mature, but when they pulled out a cell phone for obligatory selfies, these two proved that no matter how grown up they looked, they were still just kids.

Need more proof that Sasha and Malia are trendsetters? Sasha, 12, created such a frenzy after she donned this $18 unicorn sweater from ASOS to a college basketball game, that fans actually contacted the company demanding the sweater be reissued.

On a trip to China to visit President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan, the Obama ladies stunned in shades of red.

The New York Daily News called the $112 two-tiered floral pattern from Topshop "the frock heard round the world." It reportedly sold out of stores soon after photos of the young lady emerged.

While on a college tour in 2015, Malia decided to partake in (or at least observe) some traditional collegiate activities at Brown University. The Daily Caller (via Us Weekly) published a Snapchat screenshot of the first daughter standing close to a table littered with red plastic cups. Twitter exploded with observations from Brown students. "Standing next to Malia Obama at a party nbd," read one of the many tweets (via Buzzfeed); another twitter user claimed the first daughter was "taking shots and playing beer pong." Brown students later apologized for the leaked photos through an editorial in the student newspaper, The Brown Daily Herald, admitting the campus "had no chill" during the visit. Needless to say, Malia chose to attend Harvard University instead.
