Michelle Obama is sporting a new hairstyle. The new hairdo isn’t as elegant like what happened in July last year. However, the First lady surely has a new haircut which looks like an above-the-shoulder bob.

She was seen with a shorter, above-the-shoulder bob when she accompanied U.S. President Barack Obama to Wilmington, Del., to attend the funeral of Vice-President Joe Biden’s 92-year-old mother, Jean.

The latest hairstyle of Michelle Obama is creating quite a buzz–it’s a sleek, full-bodied and blunt-cut bob which might remind you of the 1920’s actress Louise Brooks. This happens to be her first hairstyle of 2010 and sources say that this is the first time she has publicly appeared with her hair down in more than two months.

The first lady had allowed her hair to grow longer last year. Since November, she wore it mostly in an updo, tucked under or pulled into a tight bun. Second week of 2010 saw a new Michelle Obama hairstyle in which she cut off at least five centimeters of her dark locks with professional hair shears.

Michelle Obama’s new hairdo could possibly mean a serious return of the bob. Her blunt-cut bob is a strange choice of hairstyle since it is not so popular these days. A few celebrities who are seen sporting a bob are Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria and Gwyneth Paltrow.

I think the new Michelle Obama hairdo has got connection with two special occasions for the Obama’s. The first lady turned 46 on Sunday, and next Wednesday marks the couple’s first year as President and first lady of the United States.
