Do these stars look better with a fringe or without one?

Based on the world’s reaction to Michelle Obama’s new fringe, you would think that the President himself had decided to grow a beard ahead of his inauguration ceremony on Monday.   While everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed over Barack Obama’s tear-jerking speech, as well as Beyonce’s lip-synced crooning, we’d argue that it was Michelle’s new haircut that reminded people that we are heading into a new chapter of the Obama presidency. And apparently, her loving hubby agrees, as he joked that her bangs were “the most significant event of the weekend” at a pre-Inauguration event.

The style itself not only makes the already youthful-looking Mrs Obama look fresher and more trendy, but it works perfectly against her large eyes and distinct forehead. We give this one a “HOT” rating.
