Stylists ‘not surprised’ at theft of $150k Oscars dress

Hollywood stylists have said they are not surprised at the theft of a $150,000 (€134,000) pearl-covered gown worn by Lupita Nyong’o at the Oscars.

The stylists say they have all experienced the seedy side of red carpet fashion.

Style expert and fashion commentator Mary Alice Stephenson said she had heard stories about similar stolen items for years.
