Elizabeth Cohen of CNN

Exactly. The points made by Ben C. were more or less accurate. It's a big improvement, but she's not a 25 year old as she seems to be in the original pics. you posted.

After considering things in more detail, I think we need to say that the new style is a massive improvement. On the other hand those long pictures initially posted by Kramer did indeed flatter to deceive somewhat. These are the latest pics. from these days.

She's a far from ugly woman. There were some nicer pictures of her with shorter hair too.

Well, she looks heavy on the makeup, but it's a definite improvement.

Like the longer hair (though I like the pixie too) but wish as always that it had more body and style to it - shame to grow it out and just leave it kinda hanging there limply...

I think, Ben C. has a lot of good points. I did some searches and could only find the short pics. Basically, she doesn't seem to have changed the style for years (until now, presumably). I'd be interested to see more pics of the new longer style and the growing out process in order to form a more complete view.

I'm not familiar with Elizabeth but when I first saw the pictures I thought there had to be some mistake and that the lady in the first picture and the girl in the second one were not the same person.  I agree that the girl with longer hair looks 10 years younger.  I ran some searches on the web and at first I thought I was right about it being a different person--they all had her with the short pixie cut and looking relatively old.  But then I ran across some photos from last year that showed Elizabeth growing her hair out.  I can't say those photos made her look as young as the one posted in the link above but I no longer have much doubts on it being the same person.  Some of the change has to be make-up and lighting and I doubt she always looks as good as she did in the photos posted above but that is still one of the most dramatic changes I've seen in making someone look younger.  She doesn't look older than early 30s in the more recent photo but in some of the older ones, you'd swear she is late 30s, meaning she'd be about 40 at least now. 

Very nice.  I believe that some women should never wear short cropped hair, and she is one of them.

      If anyone doubts how much younger and prettier many women can look with length, in my eyes Elizabeth is Exhibit A. I hope she keeps growing, but I imagine her newly achieved sensuality is already inviting "professional" criticism among her jealous colleagues. Best, Bob

I saw this comparison on Gogomags.com, showing Elizabeth Cohen of CNN has let her hair grow. A very, very nice improvement. It doesn't even look like the same person.
