Michelle Obama has a new official portrait that will be prominently displayed on the White House website under the Administration tab that provides her biography data.

The opening details describe the First Lady as “first and foremost, Malia and Sasha’s mom.”

During her husband’s second term in office, the website states, “As First Lady, Mrs. Obama looks forward to continues her work on the issues closest to her heart — supporting military families, helping working women balance career and family, encouraging national service, promoting the arts and art education, and fostering healthy eating and healthy living for children and families across the country.”

Michelle recently celebrated her 49th birthday by changing her hairstyle to a fresher look that incorporated a great looking fringe of bangs. Check out her “midlife crisis” Skype discussion with Rachael Ray.

For a walk down memory lane, we’ve included the previous official portrait of the First Lady. Let us know which you prefer. We think it’s a no-brainer — those bangs seriously rock!

The media has pointed out that the presidency ages the nation’s commander-in-chief prematurely. We’ve included the official portraits of Barack Obama taken at the beginning of his first term and following his second inauguration. He appears to be holding up well at age 51 — despite the appearance of some grey hair.
