Michelle Obama: My Bangs Are ‘Getting a Little Irritating!’

Apr/09/2013 at 09:00 AM ET


We like to think we’d have a lot to talk about if we met Michelle Obama. We also love J. Crew, enjoy doing “Mom Dances”, and — as any girl who’s had bangs knows well — we’ve experienced the dreaded “growing-out” phase.

“I’m like a girl. What’s next?” she told Entertainment Tonight about her buzzed-about haircut in a video interview (above). “We take it day by day. They’re starting to grow out, getting a little irritating. But it’s okay!”

And yet another thing we have in common: We couldn’t be more excited for warm enough weather to break out our spring attire. “Just being able to wear a skirt and some flats!” she said when asked what she’s looking forward to wearing this season. “Spring is lots of color, lots of flowy fabrics. It’ll be good!”

For lots more from the First Lady, including how inspired she is by all the First Ladies who have preceded her, check out the video and tell us: What’s your best grow-out-your-bangs trick? Mrs. Obama, take notes!

See Michelle Obama’s Second ‘Vogue’ Cover

Barack Obama has already said that he has a lot in common with Jay-Z (noting they both have daughters and wives more popular than themselves). Now in the April issue of Vogue, he’s comparing wife (and the magazine’s cover star) Michelle to Beyoncé.

Why? Because she’s glad that his high-powered job required him to get more suits and lose the pair of khakis he’s had since he was 20. “Michelle’s like Beyoncé in that song,” he jokes. “‘Let me upgrade ya!’ She upgraded me.”

Also on his style team: daughters Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11. “The girls and I are always rooting when he wears, like, a stripe,” Michelle says. “They’re like, ‘Dad! Oh, you look so handsome. Oh, stripes! You go!’”

President Obama isn’t the only one whose style has changed over the course of his administration; case in point, Michelle’s hair is definitely different than it was on her first Vogue cover in 2009.

But her style philosophy remains the same: “I always say that women should wear whatever makes them feel good about themselves,” she says. “That’s what I always try to do.” And with a second Vogue cover under her belt, it appears to be working for her! For more from the President and First Lady, visit Vogue.com and pick up the new issue, on newsstands March 26.

All the Details on Michelle Obama’s Oscars Look

She was one of the few Oscars guests who didn’t sing a tune, dance a few steps or clutch a trophy, but Michelle Obama’s surprise appearance during Sunday night’s awards show was still one of the most talked-about moments of the broadcast.

The First Lady appeared via video to announce the Best Picture Oscar, looking like she belonged on the Oscars’ Best Dressed List in a glittering, custom smoke gray Naeem Khan gown and Sutra Silver at Fragments jewelry. She wore her bangs straight down but pulled the rest of her hair back into a low bun.

Though it would have made our night if she had gotten dressed to the nines just to present the award from the White House, Obama actually was taking a quick break from hosting the Governors Dinner — so no word on what she thought of the Les Misérables performance or Seth MacFarlane’s hosting job.
