Iranian Media House Digitally Alters Michelle Obama’s Gown To Make It Look Modest

An Iranian news agency yesterday, digitally altered an image of Michelle Obama announcing the Oscar for Best Picture in order to make her dress appear more modest.

The State-controlled Fars News Agency added a high neckline and cap sleeves to the silver Naeem Khan gown worn by the U.S. First Lady, who from the Diplomatic Room of the White House, remotely presented the award to Ben Affleck for his film Argo.

It was Photoshopped in order that the garment would be in keeping with the country’s Islamic dress codes that require women not to expose too much skin….and they blurred the entire image almost beyond recognition to make it hard for Iranians to tell that there are two females dressed like men standing behind her…..peep the picture when you continue, not very clear but at least one can see it
