Jason Wu surprised that Michelle Obama picked him twice

Designer Jason Wu was almost as surprised as everyone else that First Lady Michelle Obama  once again chose one of his gowns for an inaugural ball. She wore a white one-shoulder gown he designed to her husband's first inauguration in 2009, and a ruby red Wu gown to the second inaugural ball on Monday. Wu says the White House didn't tell him until the last minute that his was the winning gown. "I'm floating," he was quoted as saying. [New York Times]
