Malia looked quite the stunner she is as she kept her hair open and wore an off-shoulder red, white, and grey corset top paired with a high-low blue-and-white skirt. The entire set was from Vivienne Westwood. She completed the look with black knee-length leather boots.

Looking confident, Malia when asked about her unique style, said, “It's cool. I don't know much about fashion, but I'm happy to be wearing it.”

On her red carpet appearance for her film, Malia said, “I’m so excited. I’ve never done anything like this before, so I’m a little bit terrified but mostly just excited.”
