Michelle Obama's daily battle with fringe

The US First Lady Michelle Obama had a fringe cut into her locks earlier this year and has now admitted she is getting "irritated" by the grown out strands.

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "The bangs are a day-to-day proposition, we take it day by day. They're starting to grow out, getting a little irritating. But it's OK. We'll be good."

Fashion-loving Michelle also admitted she is looking forward to spring so she can wear "colour" and "flowy fabrics".

Asked what she is excited about wearing this season, she said: "Just being able to wear a skirt and some flats! Spring is lots of colour, lots of flowy fabrics. It'll be good!"

While Michelle's fringed style was a hit with most people, outspoken Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld recently slammed the look, saying it made her look like "a newsreader".

He said: "I don't understand the change of hair. I adore Madame Obama, I love her. But there is a news reader at LCI which has this haircut. Frankly, this doesn't suit her. The fringe was a bad idea, it's not good."
