Last week, the news broke that Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o had her gown stolen that she wore to the 2015 Oscars on Sunday. According to WWD, an anonymous caller contacted TMZ claiming to steal the dress and upon finding out that the pearls were fake decided to return the dress to the hotel.
The gown was dumped under a sink in a plastic bag underneath a bathroom counter and is reportedly worth $150,000.
At this time no one has been arrested.
"All of us at Calvin Klein are thrilled to know that the dress has potentially been located," Francisco Costa, Women's Creative Director of Calvin Klein Collection, who designed the dress, said in a statement to Women's Wear Daily. "This was an amazing collaboration between the brand and Lupita and the dress looked truly exquisite on her. Once it's returned to us, we will be able to have the dress restored and archived, as it now represents an important moment for the brand."
"Collaborating with Francisco for my Oscar dress this year was such a special and unforgettable experience," Nyong'o added. "I'm happy that it has been potentially recovered. It is a timeless and priceless piece of art."
