A pearl-encrusted dress worth Sh13.6 million ($150,000) that actress Lupita Nyong’o wore to the 2015 Oscar awards has been stolen.
The dress was stolen when the actress was out of her hotel room in Hollywood.
BBC reported that the dress was taken from the London Hotel in West Hollywood.
The custom-made Calvin Klein Collection by Francsisco Costa dress was studded with 6,000 natural white pearls.
No one has been arrested in connection with the theft.

The figure-hugging frock featured intricate white beading from top to bottom, a halter neckline and sexy keyhole cut-out.
"The pressure's off. I can just dress up and enjoy the show,” she said.
Ms Nyong’o was a presenter at the Sunday’s Oscar having won one in 2014 for her role in "Twelve Years a Slave".
She is a red carpet darling and has won praise over her fashion choices.
