LOS ANGELES - A $150,000 ($205,000) pearl-encrusted dress stolen from the hotel room of Kenyan star Lupita Nyong'o was found Friday, Los Angeles police said. <\/p>\n
The custom-made gown, encrusted with some 6,000 pearls, went missing from the Oscar-winning star's hotel room after she turned heads in it Sunday on the Academy Awards red carpet. <\/p>\n
\"A dress that greatly resembles the dress that was stolen\" was recovered, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Nicole Nishida, told AFP. <\/p>\n
The elaborate Calvin Klein pearl dress designed by Francisco Costa was reported missing from the London West Hollywood hotel just off Sunset Boulevard late Wednesday. <\/p>\n
Nyong'o won a best supporting actress Oscar last year for her performance in the drama \"12 Years A Slave.\" The Kenyan-born actress has wowed fashion critics with her bold sartorial choices since her breakout performance. <\/p>\n
