Malia Obama has put her impressively long legs on display after walking the red carpet in a very short miniskirt at the premiere of her new short film.

The former First Daughter, 25, caused a storm at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on Thursday.

She attended the event to celebrate the premiere of her own short fiction film entitled The Heart – for which she served as both director and screenwriter.

The play, which runs all week, follows a lonely man “who mourns the death of his mother after an argument over groceries and a strange request in her will.”

Malia hit the red carpet in an understated ensemble in muted blues and grays.

She opted for a blouse with a pinstripe collar, which she paired with a very short black skirt and tights.

The aspiring director completed the look with a pair of chunky knee-high boots, a twill coat and a thin scarf reminiscent of the mid-2000s.

Malia, who recently underwent a hair transformation, wore her long locks in a combination of loose waves and braids that she swept over one shoulder.

She appeared in good spirits as she beamed at the camera before posing for a series of group photos with other guests.

Malia’s The Heart previously screened at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado and at the Chicago International Film Festival, where it was recognized in the best live-action short category.

The Harvard graduate, who is credited as Malia Ann, previously spoke about the project at Sundance’s Meet the artist segment.

She said: ‘The film is about lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to discover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things…

“We hope you enjoy the film and that it makes you feel a little less lonely, or at least reminds you not to forget the people who are.”

But this isn’t the first time Malia has showcased her creative talents.

She made her writing debut about the Prime Video thriller series Swarm, starring Chloe Bailey, which focused on a young woman’s obsession with a pop star.

Last year, showrunner Janine Nabers said Entertainment tonight: ‘She’s an incredible writer.

“She has brought a lot… She is really dedicated to her profession.”
