Lupita Nyong'o's Oscars 2015 Calvin Klein Dress Possibly Found
Hollywood heist over!? It's possible. A dress similar to the one that Lupita Nyong'o wore to the 87th Annual Academy Awards last weekend has been found, a source confirms to Us Weekly. The Oscar winner's gorgeous Calvin Klein pearl gown was stolen from her room at the London hotel following the star-studded show.
The L.A. Sheriff's Department tells Us that detectives received a phone call from a media representative on Friday, Feb. 27. The representative reported that an identified person called and told them that the halter gown was located in an abandoned bathroom on the second floor of the London hotel.
Detectives then dispatched and located a black garment bag underneath the bathroom's counter. Inside was a white dress that resembled the one that Nyong'o, 31, wore. The investigation is still ongoing, however, as authorities have yet to confirm if it's the same one.
The Oscar winner's halter gown featured 6,000 white pearls and is valued at $150,000. On the red carpet, the always fashion-forward 12 Years a Slave actress talked about presenting the Best Supporting Actor category.
