Mrs Obama: can she cut it in the style stakes?

CUT “Sophisticated and safe, Michelle keeps her cut classic by opting for a long layered bob. Her relaxed hair has first been set in rollers to give it lots of volume, blow-dried and flat ironed smooth to give it a polished finish. I’d like to see her hair sloghtly shorter, in a more structured bob with soft face framing layers. With her confidence, poise and elegance, she can definitely carry off a cut with a more contemporary twist.” Tony Hegarty, Identity UK, London

COLOR “Michelle is a true ambassador for the natural look, wich is perfectly illustrated throught her choise of colour. Her hue has been achieved by applying a permanent dark brown based to cover any grey, while running freehand slices around her hairline in medium brown to soften her look. To tone drawn any contrast between the two shades and give the hair a gorgeous gloss, a deep brown semi-permanent colour has been apllied all over. Her shade has warm undertones, wich complements her complexion, but I’d like to see her hair a little brighter, maybe with slices of red or copper”. Ingrid Farrel, Silk Trends, Chingford, London

STYLE “Michelle looks really confident in this black and red fiery dress. She often wears well-fitted outfits and this one is no exception. She has a great figure and the shorter length shows off her legs. She looks smart enogh to be taken seriously and the bright red explosion of colour on the dress shows us that she has a fun side. The black satin cross breaks up the colour and accentuates her waist. Michelle’s silver drop earrings are just the right side of bling and her sparkly bangles show she loves a bit of glamour.” Gabrielle Ara, freelance fashion stylist
