Tems Under Fire For Blocking Oscars View With Her Outfit

Nigerian singer and Oscar nominee Tems has been getting dragged across social media after her flamboyant outfit blocked the view of fellow attendees at Sunday night’s Academy Awards.

Tems is nominated for Best Original Song for the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” track “Lift Me Up” — wore a puffy white gown that wrapped around the back of her head.

And while the Grammy Award winning singer stunned on the red carpet, the incredible outfit was probably less loved by those sitting inside the Dolby Theater.

Photos of the singer standing out in the crowd quickly went viral on Twitter, clocking up hundreds of thousands of views. “Imagine waiting your whole life to be at the Oscars and you end up sitting behind a stratus cloud,” one person wrote, comparing the garment to a mass of condensed water vapor.

Someone also accused the star of being “rude” by blocking the view of other attendees. “I guess the people behind the white veil don’t get to see the show,” one declared. “Who has to sit behind that woman with the white veil,” another asked. “Rude.”

Others dragged the designer of the dress, with a detractor declaring: “She looks stunning but perhaps they could have made the top bit detachable.”

“Her designers should have thought this through,” another agreed.
