When Malia Obama was just 13, she was already well on her way to matching her dad's height. During a speech in 2011, as reported by ABC News, then-president Barack Obama joked about his young daughter's growth spurt. "Even though she's five-nine, she's still my baby." Since then, the aspiring filmmaker appears to have shot up several more inches.
For the premiere of her movie "The Heart" at Sundance, Obama paused on the red carpet, showing off her long and lean frame in a white blouse, short skirt, tall boots, and an oversized jacket and scarf. Though there isn't any definitive word on how tall she's gotten since her last official measurement noted by her dad, her height was very noticeable on the red carpet. She towered over several other attendees with whom she was photographed.
Malia's height is no surprise, though, given her parents are above average in the vertical category, too. Mom Michelle Obama is 5'11", and dad Barack is 6'1".
