The pearl-encrusted 150,000 dollars dress worn by Kenyan star Lupita
Nyong’o at the Oscars last weekend was stolen from the actress’s Los
Angeles hotel room, police confirmed Thursday.
“It has been confirmed that it is the dress that was worn by Lupita
Nyong’o,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department spokeswoman Nicole
Nishida said.
Nyong’o, who won a best supporting actress Oscar last year for her
performance in the drama “12 Years A Slave”, created a sensation on the red
carpet on Sunday with her elaborate custom-made Calvin Klein gown designed
by Francisco Costa.
The stunning dress was adorned with some 6,000 white pearls. The gown was
stolen from a room at the London West Hollywood hotel just off Sunset
Boulevard, Nishida said. The theft was reported late Wednesday, police
added.
