First Lady Michelle Obama debuted her new 'do at a White House reception for country music stars Tuesday night. (Charley Pride, Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss and Union Station performed.) She stuck with sideswept bands, but the look is much shorter on the sides and in the back.

Note: Can't post the pic of the new doo because of copyright restrictions (Getty Images), but you can peek at the chic by clicking HERE.

That's not a do...that's a DON'T

IIRC, it was the Summer of '93, about the time Bill Clinton's net favorability rating went through zero, when the Round-Heeled Media started obsessing about Hillary!'s hairstyle.

Plus ca change!

It looks just like a WIG to me!

Big mistake. Not because it isn’t charming -— but because she’ll never be able to keep it up. Gone are the (many) days of just pulling it back when she’s not in the mood for a full “blow-out”.

She should have called me first. ;-)

Actually, I think it is very nice and very becoming on her. That other hairdo was way outdated back to the 60’s. This is very cute and does much more for her than the other hair style.

This idiot doesn’t even mention Darius Rucker was there. Yea! Hootie!!!

Did she fly AF1 to Chitown to visit her favorite downtown salon?

1. Looks nice.

2. Threads mocking how Michelle Obama looks are the dumbest, most foot-shooting threads on FR.

Do’s not bad. At least she wasn’t wearing a boob belt.

[Houghton M.]

Does she need to be "in the mood"? Doesn't she have servants for that? As I understand it, royality have chamber servants to dress and attend to Madame's toilette, n'est-ce-pas? Or have I missed something?

Hitlery changed hairstyles every few months too.

On with the headband, off with the headband.

Now if only Mrs. O would lose the cute little ammo belts she wears I’d be a lot more inclined to give her a break.
