Just when we thought the first lady had settled into a signature style -- poof! Michelle Obama debuts a brand new 'do.

Her new cut is a short, layered bob with a side part -- very professional and polished.

The nape-length back is perfect for summer as it has the cooling effect of wearing your hair up, but with the face-framing benefit of wearing your hair down.

And while the front layers are definitely snipped shorter, we still can't help but be a wee bit suspicious.

This wouldn't be the first time Mrs. O fooled us by faking a cut--she has a penchant for up-dos that give the illusion of shorter hair without the scissors (here are a few examples).

Update: As it turned out, it was a fake! Michelle's stylist told Urban Beauty Collective that he simply tucked up her hair, as we had guessed. Either way, it looked great.

it'll take more than a new hair style to make her a "lady"

Oh Charlie, quit hatin'. You know you wish that you could snag a beauty like your first lady!

Isn't this a variation of the Kate Gullison?? If you poof up the back it would sort of be the same.

How DARE you say that. She is a beautiful LADY.

I see black women all the time trying to look like white women , then they want to critize the whites. If you want to be so black, just leave your hair alone, and quit bleaching your skin (Micheal Jackson type) Leave your wigs at home, you dont see white women wearing nappy wigs!!!!!!

I'm in your corner on this one Charlie.

You said it well! She should have a hammer and cycle accessory in her Karl Marxist hair to set it off well.

Charlie....and i'm sure it will take more than a hairstyle and plastic surgery to improve your looks....how dare you talk....like to see you in the public's eye. i'm sure seeing you would hurt my eyes!

I agree. Who cares!!!

JoyRptr, 7-22-2009, 8:11PM

Ha! Susie dear, tan any recently? Oh, and what about all the white chicks running around with J-LO butt implants and pouty lips? PLEASE!

Who cares about her hair--look at that gorilla face! She should chop off her head. But before she does that, she should shoot her communist husband who is bent on destroying this country and the heath care system. Good Luck suckers when you're waiting for years for your health care--IF God, oh, I mean Obama will let you have it. You people better start following the conservative talk radio shows.
