Lupita Nyong’o’s pearl Oscars dress has been stolen, Sergeant Richard Bowman of the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department told ABC News.
The actress’s Calvin Klein Collection gown, made of more than 6,000 pearls and valued at $150,000, was stolen from her hotel at the London Hotel in West Hollywood on Wednesday while she was out.
Bowman added that detectives were on the scene this morning and have video footage that they will review to see if they can identify the culprit.
