Michelle Stafford looked comfortable and cozy when she attended the "This is 40" premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles in 2012. She sported a gray turtleneck sweater that was cropped and paired it with tight black leggings and boots. The light gray color of her sweater really made her hair color pop.
 
Her hair, cut just a couple of inches past the shoulders, appeared very long due to the numerous short layers that gave it a sweeping shape. The variety of tiers added a lot of interest to the haircut, with the shortest tier fanning out around her cheekbones. Although her center part was very diffused, it helped create a sense of symmetry.
 
Michelle's strands were curled with a large curling iron, with the hair directed away from her face on either side for a pretty, swept-back result. This style complemented her square-shaped face, with its defined angles, as the soft texture of her hairstyle helped soften her look.
 
The color of her hair was a light, milk chocolate shade with flecks of gold. The warmth of the color made her cool blue eyes pop. Despite being the same color from roots to tips, her hair had tons of shine and subtle dimension that looked gorgeous.
