All eyes were on Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, also known as Tems, at the 2023 Oscar Awards in a show-stopping Lever Couture gown.
The stunning singer-songwriter, who has taken the music industry by storm with her soulful and melodic hits, turned heads as she sashayed into the event in a billowing white dress.
However, it wasn’t long before the Oscar nominee’s gorgeous gown began to cause a stir. Tems has gone viral after she blocked the view of some of the attendees sitting behind her with her voluminous dress.
Twitter was soon abuzz with comments and memes about the obstructive nature of her dress, with some calling it “disrespectful” to the people sitting behind her.
Despite the controversy, there’s no denying that Tems looked absolutely stunning in her Lever Couture creation. The dress was a work of art, with intricate beadwork and embroidery, and a flowing train that seemed to go on forever. It was the perfect choice for an artist who is known for her unique sense of style and unapologetic attitude.
Tems,27, who co-wrote Rihanna’s Academy Award-nominated song ‘Lift Me Up’ from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also performed a soulful rendition of the hit song ‘Essence’ which had the audience on their feet.
