"I can confirm a dress was stolen from the London Hotel that belonged to the actress Lupita Nyong'o," a spokesperson from the L.A. sheriff's department tells Us. "We believe it was taken sometime during the day yesterday (2/25). We are looking at every scenario; when the cleaners go to clean the rooms they do it with the door open so that's a possibility." The spokesperson added, "Currently we are still investigating, detectives are interviewing and looking for witnesses."
The elegant number landed the star on Us Weekly's Best Dressed list. A Calvin Klein devotee, Nyong'o also sported a rose gold beaded strapless dress from the brand for the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
