On February 3, Nabila beamed with pride and quiet confidence as she held up Pakistan’s flag for a photograph atop Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.

In an earlier interview with Instep, Nabila had said that she enjoyed scaling heights because they allowed her to get out of her comfort zone. We are inspired by Nabila’s love for challenges, and are sure it’s her secret to her age-defying success!


​​Lupita Nyong’o’s Oscar dress stolen... and recovered?

Now here was a real case for the fashion police: Lupita Nyong’o’s Oscars dress, a show-stopping Calvin Klein confection, had been stolen from her Hollywood hotel room!  The custom gown, which was encrusted with 6,000 pearls, was worth $150,000. It went missing from her room at The London hotel on Tuesday when the 31-year-old actress was out. She told police it went missing between 8am and 9pm.

When she was speaking to E! host Ryan Seacrest on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday, the 2014 Oscar winner Lupita had said, “This year the pressure's off! I can just dress up and enjoy the show”. The morning after, Lupita had showed off the stunning accessories that complemented her dress in an Instagram post. The photograph of her Chopard jewels, satin Nicholas Kirkwood heels and a silver box clutch was captioned 'That was cool! #Oscars 2015 #DiamondsAndPearls'. Little did she know that her enjoyment of her dress would be short-lived.

Authorities were searching CCTV footage for answers. “We are looking at every scenario; when the cleaners go to clean the rooms they do it with the door open so that's a possibility,” said a spokesperson from the LA Sheriff's Department in a statement.

Latest update: An ivory dress strongly resembling Lupita’s turned up on Friday in a black garment bag stashed underneath a bathroom sink in the same hotel. The recovery of the dress was first reported by TMZ.com, which said that a person claiming to have taken the gown gave the celebrity website information about where to find the dress. Detectives were trying to verify whether the recovered dress is the same one Nyong’o wore.
