Malia Obama made a striking appearance at the 50th Deauville American Film Festival, showcasing her debut short film, *The Heart*. The 26-year-old filmmaker dazzled in a Vivienne Westwood plaid ensemble, featuring a cropped corset with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a layered plaid skirt. She completed her look with knee-high black leather boots and a stack of silver hoop earrings.
In an interview with Paris Match, Obama, who admitted to feeling “a little bit terrified” but excited, revealed her ensemble’s designer and expressed her enthusiasm for the fashion choice. Her short film, *The Heart*, which delves into themes of solitude, mourning, and forgiveness, won the festival’s inaugural Young Spirit Award.
