Actress Lupita Nyong'o’s Oscar dress, valued at $150,000, was reportedly stolen from her hotel room

Actress Lupita Nyong'o’s Oscar dress, valued at $150,000, was reportedly stolen from her hotel room Tuesday.
It's the high-fashion Hollywood heist that knocked California cops for a Lupita.

The stunning $150,000 pearl gown donned by Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o for Sunday’s Academy Awards was pilfered from the actress’ hotel room at the chic London West Hollywood.
Detectives are sifting through security camera footage from the hotel, celebrity news website TMZ reported.

Nyong'o, 31, won the best supporting actress Oscar in 2014 for her role in 12 Years a Slave.She had a large entourage of people with keys to the room, the New York Daily News reported.
The dress was made from white Akoya pearls and was probably the heaviest on the red carpet. It was designed by Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein. 

Francisco Costa, the designer, said last week he had worked closely with the actress to create the dress. He said: “We decided to use natural pearls to create a truly modern, timeless dress that compliments her style."
