US First Lady Michelle Obama chose to don a creation by eminent Indian-American designer Naeem Khan in her surprise Oscar appearance Sunday night.

The First Lady made an unannounced appearance to name the Best Picture winner - 'Argo' - live from the Diplomatic Room of the White House. "The Academy Awards approached the First Lady about being a part of the ceremony.

As a movie lover, she was honored to present the award and celebrate the artists who inspire us all - especially our young people - with their passion, skill and imagination," said Kristina Schake, Communications Director to the First Lady. In her appearance, the First Lady was wearing the same strapless silver design by Khan which she wore to the Governor's Dinner.
