We can't remember the last time a hair look at an inauguration ceremony inspired this much praise, but leave it to style icon and former First Lady Michelle Obama to do just that. Obama stepped out at Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony wearing a plum-hued outfit by Black American designer Sergio Hudson, but it was her bouncy, flawless hair that dominated the chatter on Twitter. In fact, "laid" started trending simply because of Obama's hair. That's how much power she holds.

As soon as Obama stepped out of the car, group chats everywhere exploded with talk of Obama's hairstyle. Shiny, glossy, with a bounce that could be seen all over the world, Obama's curls no doubt inspired millions of women to run to their bathrooms and turn on their curling irons. Hairstylist Yene Damtew gets all the credit for this look. The choice of a side-part was key here, since her front layers were curled perfectly to swoop and frame her face. Obama's subtle caramel highlights also added dimension to the style, making each curl look shiny and defined.
