Karl Lagerfeld does not like Michelle Obama's bangs

POSTED: Thursday, January 31, 2013, 11:32 AM
MIchelle Obama's new bangs.

The czar of high fashion has spoken - and he says Michelle Obama's bangs were "a bad idea."

Karl Lagerfeld appeared on French TV show Le Petit Journal to discuss Paris Fashion Week, but the conversation turned into commentary on Michelle Obama's bangs.

The creative director of Chanel, Fendi and his own eponymous line said, "I don’t understand the change of hair...Frankly, the fringe was a bad idea. It’s not good." He also added that she looked like an anchor.

Lagerfeld, who's no stranger to criticizing celebrities on their physical appearances, has previously made some questionable statements regarding Pippa Middleton's face and Adele's body.

Not that his opinion really matters in FLOTUS' case since the number one man in her life has already told the world, "I love her bangs!"

    Laagerfeld is off-base. Michelle Obama now looks like a backup singer in a Motown group. She went from looking regal to all the rest.

    I think the First Lady generally has an excellent fashion sense, but I think she looked better without the bangs!

    Karl Lagerfeld does not like Michelle Obama's bangs This is a sad headline. I know that Mr. Lagerfeld has an entire world to worry about beyond this one woman who does not matter to anyone. She is no one and should not be a focus for anyone, anywhere.

    truthfirst:
    You claim that the First Lady of The United States is "does not matter to anyone. She is no one and should not be a focus for anyone, anywhere. "

    Whether Mrs. Obama or any other, every First Lady is somebody very important! Your absolute prejudice is showing and there are millions of people who do not agree with you!

    She should let the bangs grow even more. Cover that ape face completely.

    Looks like Michele is sporting a wig these days. Not flattering.
    I agree with Karl. He is the professional with the fashion expertise, not Michele.

    I like the bangs and who care what old Karl likes or not. Remember all the flap over Hilary's hair? Or Jane Pauley's hair? Don't remember many comments about Mamie's hair and minimal criticism over her clothes. Keep thing perspective.

    Tony Soprano does not like Karl Lagerfeld. Whose opinion do you think counts more?
