Former presidential daughters Sasha and Malia Obama made a rare public appearance together during the inauguration ceremony of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago.
The grand opening ceremony brought together well-known Hollywood personalities, figures from the art world and close friends of the Obama family, in an event that marks an important moment in Barack Obama's political and public legacy, nine years after he left the White House.
Malia Obama was 10 years old when her father became president of the United States, while Sasha Obama was just 7 years old, making them two of the youngest children to live in the White House in recent decades.
Their joint presence at this event was widely commented on, drawing attention to the symbolism of the Obama family's return to the center of a historic moment for the city of Chicago and beyond.
