Michelle Watch: It’s A Bob!
July 22, 2009 12:56 pm
Those J.Crew cardi sets and the Jason Wu inaugural gown may have made headlines, but this right here is front-page news if we’ve ever seen it: The First Lady has appeared to cut her hair, foregoing the increasingly popular “lob” in favor of a shorter, more conservative version of Posh Spice’s early trips to the chopping block. While the look becomes the First Lady (there are few things that couldn’t), we are a little disappointed with what seems to be a move toward the more traditional style of Capitol Hill, which mandates tight, side-swept crops with little movement. We would’ve added some choppy layers to her shoulder-length hair but, hey, that’s just us. You?

Are you sure? It looks pulled back to me…

By jgalinski on 07/22/09 at 3:22 pmMichelle looks great to me. I think its an improvement considering her last hair style.
By heatherfoster1 on 07/22/09 at 5:27 pmIt looks more like a nod to Princess Diana than mere conservatism. She does have the statuesque figure to pull that off.
By heatherfoster1 on 07/22/09 at 5:40 pmEven if it’s pulled back, it’s still super chic and feels fresh. It’s like the White House version of the Rihanna ‘do.
