Earlier in the week, America bid a tearful goodbye to Barack Obama as he delivered one last powerful message as the nation's 44th president.

If you tuned in to watch President Obama's farewell address, you may have noticed the president wasn't the only one who made a lasting impression on our minds.

During the speech, Obama brought his daughters into the spotlight – while simultaneously making all of America cry its eyes out – when he said,

Malia and Sasha, under the strangest of circumstances, you have become two amazing young women, smart and beautiful, but more importantly, kind and thoughtful and full of passion. You wore the burden of years in the spotlight so easily. Of all that I've done in my life, I'm most proud to be your dad.

However, it appears Malia Obama, in particular, really captured the nation's attention, thanks to the stylish ensemble she selected for the occasion.
