TMZ said the thief took the Calvin Klein dress from Nyong'o's
hotel room on Wednesday after finding the door ajar. The Kenyan
actress had worn the dress adorned with 6,000 pearls to Sunday's
Academy Awards in one of the most commented looks of the night.
The thief and others removed two pearls from the dress and took
them to the Garment District in downtown Los Angeles where they
were told they were not real, according to TMZ.
The thief then took the dress back to the London West Hollywood
hotel and told TMZ it was in a garment bag inside a trash bag in
a bathroom.
TMZ then tipped off the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
in West Hollywood, which was investigating the theft. The
website shows grainy footage of an unidentified person opening
the bag and finding a white dress.
The Sheriff's Department confirmed a white pearl dress had been
recovered at the London hotel Friday and said it would release
more details later.
