While the opening of the Obama Presidential Center was meant to celebrate a historic achievement years in the making, it was Sasha Obama’s footwear that unexpectedly became one of the most talked-about details of the day.
The June 18 dedication ceremony in Chicago brought together the entire Obama family for a rare public appearance.
Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama were joined by daughters Malia and Sasha as they celebrated the launch of the $850 million Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago.
Although the event attracted world leaders, former presidents, and major political figures, social media quickly shifted its attention to the Obama sisters’ fashion choices — especially Sasha’s eye-catching sandals.
