Iranian News Agency Photoshops Sleeves On Michelle Obama's Oscar Gown

But the image of the First Lady beamed in via video from the White House looked different for readers of the semi-official Iranian Fars news agency.

The photo edit was first noticed by D.C.-based Iranian journalist, Golnaz Esfandiari.

Here's how Michelle Obama appeared to most viewers around the world:
