Others 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.” The songstress — who 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 she stunned on the red carpet, the incredible outfit was probably less loved by those sitting inside the Dolby Theater.
Photos of the “Crazy Tings” hitmaker 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 sniped, comparing the garment to a mass of condensed water vapor.

The critic accompanied their snarky tweet with a screenshot that showed a guest craning his neck around Tems’ puffy garment in order to see the stage.

At one point, one woman sitting behind the singer was seen leaning over trying to get a better view.

Many defended Tems’ eye-catching ensemble, saying they were fans of the fashion-forward frock.

Several 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.

However, many defended Tems’ eye-catching ensemble, saying they were fans of the fashion-forward frock.
“If you’re sitting BEHIND greatness that is known as Tems, then perhaps you’re just not that important,” one stated.
What do you think? Post a comment.

A second supporter said those sitting behind the beauty wouldn’t be missing much at all.
“I would think the Oscars would have large screens to view the stage from,” they declared.
However, Tems was nominated for the 2023 edition of the Oscars in the category of ‘Best Original Song’ courtesy of a collaboration she had on the song, “Lift Me Up” with popular singer, Rihanna; music producer, Ludwig Göransson; and Black Panther’s director, Ryan Coogler.
Despite the singer missing out on the category she was nominated for, many have taken Twitter to criticise her after her elaborate outfit blocked the view of fellow attendees at Sunday night’s
While reacting to the singers dress, many claimed she stole the show for people behind her, others accused her of wanting to be noticed.
“I know whomever is behind Tems is mad as hell,” wrote another.
“Imagine scoring an invite to the Oscars and discovering your seat is behind (her).”
Others were more blunt.
“Yo, what the f*** is Tems wearing?” one person asked.
“She getting married at the after-parties?
“She’s blocking everyone’s view.” “Oscars needs to enforce a dress code after this year for a mess like that.”
Others agreed.
“Make Tems sit in the back or remove that outrageous view-obstructing piece,” one Twitter user concurred.
“I know whoever is sitting behind Tems feels a way,” said another.
“Imagine waiting your whole life to be at the Oscars and you end up sitting behind a stratus cloud.”
Focusing in on the man sitting behind Tems with a craned neck, one Twitter user predicted: “This guy is going to be at the chiropractor first thing in the morning.”
Unfortunately for Tems, the song she wrote with Rihanna for Wakanda Forever didn’t win an Oscar.
That meant she couldn’t give the people seated behind her some temporary relief by walking up onto the stage.
The song Naatu Naatu from RRR won Best Original Song, also beating out theme tunes from Top Gun: Maverick, Tell It Like A Woman and Everything Everywhere All At Once.
