Malia and Sasha Obama Make a Rare Outing at the Presidential Center Opening — and Their Looks Are Turning Heads — Photos

At one point, Malia Obama used her long hair to cover up as she walked alongside her family at the high-profile gathering. In this photo, the family is seen sitting together during the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, Illinois, on June 18, 2026. | Source: Getty Images

Over on Instagram, the focus shifted a bit, with several people zeroing in on accessories and the wider family lineup. “Sasha’s shoes are INSANE. 😍,” one fan wrote, clearly taking note of those now sold out Miu Miu sandals. “Look at the shoes😂😂😂,” another netizen echoed.

Others jumped back into the resemblance debate from a different angle. “M looks like dad, and S looks like mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️,” one person commented, essentially flipping the take from the Facebook thread.

But the girls’ mother did not escape attention either. The former first lady wore a pinstriped Thom Browne skirt suit paired with Soft Patent Wingtip Pumps for the occasion, and one commenter gushed, “Totally obsessed with Michelle’s suiting, the raw edges and shoes 🤍💙⬛.”
