Eva, Kim K + Kerry Have Done Copper Highlights: Michelle Obama Got Them, Too!

It isn't easy trying to HIGHLIGHT brunette or black hair, because it's a challenge to make it look subtle, or like it belongs there.

But, having said that, lots of celebrities have copper or honey highlights blended into their locks for added style, softness + definition.

Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian and Kerry Washington are just 3 glam ladies who LOVE playing around with sun-kissed highlights. And now First Lady Michelle Obama has joined the popular trend.

Check out Mrs. Obama at a film screening in Washington, D.C. yesterday. FLOTUS is rockin' some copper strands:

What do you think?

We give Michelle Obama's new, sun-kissed highlights the thumbs up!

The highlights are stylish, soft + playful.

The ONLY problem with highlights on a dark-haired gal--they can turn BRASSY. Trust us...we've been there.

Other than that.....Good products are key.
