On Jan. 17, Michelle Obama's 49th birthday, the FLOTUS debuted her stylish new bangs.

Now, in an interview with The Rachael Ray Show airing Wednesday, Mrs. O jokes that the haircut was "my midlife crisis!"

"I couldn't get a sports car. They won't let me bungee-jump. So instead, I cut my bangs," she quips.

Of course, Michelle's man is a fan of her 'do. "I love her bangs," President Barack Obama said after inauguration weekend. "She looks good. She always looks good."

We'd have to agree!
