Tems, a Nigerian singer-songwriter, has spoken out after being chastised for her Oscars outfit in 2023.
The Grammy-winning vocalist was a highlight of the evening, as she was nominated for an Academy Award at the 95th edition, which took place on Monday, March 13, 2023.
Nominated for best original song for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” the stunning Tems arrived elegantly in an extravagant bridal-themed gown that made a bold statement.
She was chastised for what many thought was one of the best looks of the evening, owing to the fact that some Oscar attendees sat behind the singer and may have been inconvenienced by her attire.
Taking to social media several hours after the event, the unfaced Tems posted more photos of herself in the stunning gown with an unbothered caption.
‘Oops,’ she wrote.
