Academy Award Winner Lupita Nyong'o's Stolen Oscar Gown Recovered!

Okay, are you sitting down? This is a hot ass mess. Yesterday, I reported that Academy Award Winner, Lupita Nyong'o's white natural pearl dress was stolen on Thursday from her posh hotel room in West Hollywood. Well, the dress was returned to the hotel just 48 hrs later because the thief was unable to sell it or the pearls. Turns out the natural pearls are not natural at all but some very good fakes, so they should be listed as "natural". hahahaha Apparently the thief took the dress down to the garment district according to the police and tried to sell it or just the pearls. Also fake is the net worth of the garment, it's been listed every where from $30,000.00 on the Wendy Williams show by famed stylist Robert what's his name with the bald head to $150,000.00 in most media outlets to $10,000,000.00 in some other media outlets. Calvin Klein's people refused to give it a dollar amount when asked. Since the dress is made up of over 6,000 hand sewn pearls, and it is a custom made by a World Famous Designer my guess is it is worth at least the $30,000.00 that it has mostly been reported as the correct figure. So, anyway, the thief dropped the dress off at the hotel and then called the police to let them know. No word on whether the dress will be returned to Lupita or to Calvin Klein? It belongs to Klein because it was just a loaner dress, but sometimes designers give the celebs the dress after they wear it. No one else is going to wear this dress. Calvin Klein will probably donate it to a museum some where. Oakland's Museum has a special section set aside for garments made and worn in California and anyone can donate garments to them. They rotate them in through out the year. We visited the museum and got a special speech from the curator of that section when I was in design school. Just amazing!!!
