Lupita Nyongo wore a fabulous $150,000 dress to the Oscars (That's 30,348,273.00 Naira). The 31-year-old wore the custom Calvin Klein gown that featured 6,000 pearls to the 87th annual awards ceremony on Sunday.
It is understood the show-stopping outfit was stolen out of her room at The London hotel in West Hollywood.

Some guys don hammer I swear!

Nothing personal against Lupita. It is the height of vanity (and some might say arrogance and pride) to wear a dress that is so expensive and over the heads of so many people in the land of her ancestors. But then maybe it starts with the designers who had the bright idea of flaunting opulence.
Bet they'll have second thoughts next time.

so 30m+ is gone,jus lik dt

Stop displaying your ignorance.

Stars (actors, musicians etc.) do NOT own the dresses they wear to major award shows like the Oscars. They help a designer showcase his or her work by choosing to wear his/her dress to an awards show that would be expectedly viewed by millions.

And after the show, the dress is RETURNED to the fashion house or designer rather. My point is even if the dress was for $1 million, Lupita didn't purchase it with her money (where she go get am sef) but rather showcased the work of a designer. Infact, designers attach security guards to such expensive dresses (and jewellery too) that watch over the celebrity over the course of the award show to prevent theft. So, it's heartbreaking that such dress has been stolen if the news is indeed true.

Abeg no castigate Lupita for wearing a $150,000 dress.

PS: I'm not even a fan of Lupita.

The dress looks good on her. #Team Black is beautiful#

Mr 2 know, I never say she bought & don't be too in a haste to spew stupidity here cos we all know the dress was still not hers.
Designers often make extravagant dresses for premier events. The dress doesn't belong to her and I'm certain it was insured. However avarice and greed don't know boundaries....more than likely it was a member of her entourage or a hotel employee that saw a crime of perceived opportunity. If that is the case, I can only hope that the police investigate and locate the criminals.

Peace.

You are quite right, and that dress is a masterpiece of creativity, craftsmanship and of course elegance. After such dresses have been worn by the stars, their auction values are expected to quadruple.

I just hope that Lupita would not be held liable for the theft and I hope it was insured.
