Michelle Obama has a new hairdo! (No, really, this time)

Remember back in July, when the world of style went wild over Michelle Obama's new short haircut? But then, as it turned out, it wasn't a haircut at all, just a super elegant updo, and the whole world calmed down again?

Well, fashion and beauty scribes, start your engines! Michele Obama has a new haircut and, this time, it's for real!

The first lady revealed a sleek, full-bodied, blunt-cut bob on Tuesday when she accompanied the president to a funeral for Jean Biden, Vice President Joe Biden's mother. According to sources who keep track of such things, this was the first time Mrs. Obama was seen publicly with her hair down in more than two months (she's chosen to pull it up and back since November 2nd).

Could this hair choice possibly, finally mean a serious return of the bob? The sleek, (usually) straight style was first popularized in the '20s and was most famously pulled off by actress Louise Brooks. A longer, easier-to-manage version, which appeared in the '60s, was the work of famous stylist Vidal Sassoon. Though some may argue it never went away, in the past few years, the bob has been inching even further into our collective style consciousness and seen on celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, and Eva Longoria.

The look is known to work on a variety of face shapes and for many different hair textures.
