First Daughter Inauguration Style Through The Years
Inauguration Day is upon us! Today in Washington, DC, Barack Obama will take the oath of office for his second term as president of the United States. He'll be joined by Michelle as well as Malia and Sasha, who will no doubt be incredibly well-dressed. As you know, those Obama girls have style.
For the last go-around, the then-10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha chose super cute J.Crew coats. What will they pick this time? We'll find out soon enough! And in honor of this occasion, allow us to take a peek at what other First Daughters has donned on the big day, from Amy Carter's cape to the Bush sisters' pastels.
