Michelle Obama’s Hair Evolution: Elegant, Presidential and Always Inimitably Fabulous
Michelle Obama has been a beacon of intelligence, beauty, and grace in her eight years in the White House. She is not only famed for her impeccable sense of personal style, but also for an incredible range of beautiful and natural hairstyles. Just like she would with a designer, the First Lady works with her personal hairstylist, Johnny Wright, to create effortless hairstyles that perfectly complement her stylish wardrobe. From side-swept bangs, mid-length curly locks and her world-renowned bob-cut, Obama has never been one to shy away from switching things up. Her downright delightful and presidential hairstyles have become an example for all women who want to both look elegant and have fun with their tresses. Here, our favorite styles from the past decade.
