Malia Obama has made her return to the red carpet in style.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama‘s eldest daughter made her second major public appearance Sept. 6 at the 2024 Deauville American Film Festival in Deauville, France.
The 26-year-old, who goes by the stage name Malia Ann, walked the red carpet for the event’s opening ceremony and attended a screening for her short film The Heart, her directorial debut, for which she received the Young Spirit Award.
Malia wore a black, gray, white and red plaid off-the-shoulder corset top and blue and white plaid asymmetrical skirt, both from late designer Vivienne Westwood‘s fall 2024 collection. She paired the look with black knee-high boots.
“Vivienne Westwood, queen,” the budding director told French magazine Paris Match in a rare on-camera interview on the red carpet. “It’s cool. I don’t know as much about fashion, but I’m happy to be wearing it.”
