I guess the point I was trying to make is "Guys can't stand it; gals think it's cute." But in the end there's no point at all.
 
Don't you think the side in the gogomags photos I posted looks like it's almost pasted in place? She must use a ton of hairspray -- maybe even more now that her hair is short.
 
She may look more businesslike to you, but I can't see her new look garnering higher ratings. Like I said, she's lost me.

Not sure why it matters but I am a male.  I have been a beautician for 14 years now.  Does it make her look sexy?  No.  But, it gives her more of a business like look.  That is all I was saying....

I read somewhere that she really likes it.  Well, if true, that makes one of us.

I'm sure it looked cute enough when she got it cut, or when she is at home on the weekends, but it just doesn't cut it on TV.  The other TV personality that haircut reminds me of is Jimmy Johnson, former coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

An update. Have there been any positive reviews of this new look?

Ouch bad cut. I hope she lets it grow back out. Too bad we will never see it ever pass her shoulders. Ann did. Even if it was for one time.

Watched Katie live tonight, and still puzzled by this. I think changing from the bob was a good idea. I think going shorter and layered was a good idea. But I think this is a bad cut and a bad style. It sits flat, the layers don't flip out or back or offer any feminine touches, and the front pieces are still just barely too long to be bangs, or even long bangs. It seems to sit in between about seven other cuts/styles that would have been more definite and more flattering.

I'm not entirely sure if it makes her look older or more masculine, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't make her look younger or more feminine.

This is the latest in a little flurry of cuts on celebs that I not only don't like, but which (IMHO) seem like genuinely bad cuts. I still don't quite understand how people who regularly go on camera, with all their resources, get it this wrong. Maybe CBS can't afford professional stylists anymore?

Horrible choice, imo.
Ages her by years, and is just plain unflattering.
Looks like something that is at an awkward stage of a grow out.
Sack the stylist.
 
And Kramer, couldn't agree more! She looks like a pretty guy(although I know you said handsome...).

You are spot on, the cut is more masculine, as for young....again, I say the cut makes her look older.  Maybe she needs to smile more?

Its just not a flattering style on her in my opinion. Her short cut from years ago looked much better on her than this one.

I'm sorry but I think the haircut is out of place. 

Katie was supposed to be a newscaster "out of the mold".

Sure it is a nice cut, and probably flatters her enough, but she now looks like how everyone "expects" a female news anchor to look.  I feel the cut makes her look older, and I haven't seen such a perfect hairdo since the last Sunday when I saw former Cowboys Coach Jimmie Johnson on FOX Football Pregame show (his hair never moved either).

Too stiff, with none of the life or warmth of her former short do from the Today Show (one of the greatest short cuts EVER), or even the softer look of the shoulder length from when she started the CBS news.

That's no Hillary cut. Hillary's hair is harsh. Katie's is soft. The bob was boring and didn't look that professional. This is stylish, yet authoritative. She's almost 52 and still looks great.
