Michelle Obama's haircut causes online debate and comparisons

Michelle Obama’s new haircut is causing a buzz online after the release of the latest episode of her podcast. The former first lady is cohosting the show, called IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson, with her brother. The podcast features discussions on various topics, including marriage and parenting, with special guests. Michelle was dressed in a blazer and jeans during her interview with celebrities Seth Rogen and his wife. However, it was her hairstyle, which featured three pulled-back buns, that caught much attention. Many conservative users on social media shared their reactions, with some harshly criticizing her new look. Posts about Michelle Obama's hairstyle have gone viral, attracting millions of views. Users have made a range of comments, from asking "Why would she do this?" to comparing her look to a character from Star Wars. While some found fault with her style, others praised her for expressing herself freely post-White House. Michelle Obama has faced criticism about her appearance before, especially during her husband's presidency.
