Malia was photographed with three of her guy friends, making for a very cool and fashionable group. Malia wore black flare boot pants that she paired with a simple and tight t-shirt. She used a scarf and some sunglasses to tie the whole look together, resulting in a chic and effortless look. 

She styled her hair in long braids and rounded it all up with some boots. 

Her friends all wore a mix of jeans and baggy tops, including dark-colored jackets and sweaters and walked together towards Loupiotte Kitchen, a location that Malia and her friends appear to enjoy.
