Were Michelle's bangs inspired by Kerry Washington?
Quote:
Gearing up for another four years of being in the spotlight Michelle Obama decided to shakeup her look and get bangs cut last week.
And now some are suggesting that 49-year-old's new hairstyle was inspired by Django Unchained star Kerry Washington, who unveiled a similar cut at this month's Golden Globes.
'Mrs Obama's hair is the mirror image of Kerry's. The only real difference is that Kerry's style was blow-dried and flat-ironed to be bone-straight while Mrs Obama's was blown out for more bounce.'
Another commentator wrote on The Washington Post: 'I personally don’t care for The Bangs because they make Michelle Obama look so much like Kerry Washington... I kept wondering how Kerry Washington ended up on stage at the inauguration so close to the president.'
Mrs Obama is well-acquainted with Miss Washington.
In 2009 Mrs Obama invited her to the White House along with stars including Alicia Keys and Sheryl Crow to talk to local students as part of Women’s History Month.
On the political theme Miss Washington also plays the lead in a White House-inspired ABC series called Scandal.
