Tems, a Nigerian musician, received mixed reviews for her Oscars outfit.
Temilade Openiyi, also known online as Tems, is a prominent Nigerian musician whose lavish attire caused other Academy Awards attendees to be unable to see her.
During the 95th Academy Awards, which were presented at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, in the United States, Tems was a nominee.

Notwithstanding the issue, Tems stands out at the celebrity-studded event because to her distinctive and daring fashion choice. It remains to be seen whether it will ultimately help or damage her chances of winning the coveted prize, but there's no doubting that she has generated talk in the entertainment industry.
