The former President and First Lady were joined at the big event by their two daughters Malia<\/strong>, 27, and Sasha<\/strong>, 25. For the event, Malia<\/strong> wore a gray blazer and skirt while Sasha<\/strong> wore a cream-colored outfit paired with a tan belt.<\/p>\n

The family was seen sitting together up on the stage as they watched the performances and speeches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Malia <\/strong>and Sasha<\/strong> have largely stayed out of the public eye since leaving the White House in 2017. They were 10 and 7, respectively, when their father won the White House in 2008, and 18 and 15, respectively, when he left office in January 2017.<\/p>\n

Malia<\/strong> has made a few red carpet appearances in recent years as she pursued a career in the film industry.<\/p>\n

In 2024, she was honored with the Young Spirit Award<\/a> when she debuted her directorial debut short film The Heart<\/em> at the 2024 Deauville American Film Festival<\/em>.<\/p>\n
