At the 95th Annual Academy Awards this Sunday, A-listers were celebrated for their daring fashion choices. Nigerian musician and producer Temilade Openiyi, known as Tems, was no exception. She debuted an extravagant look from the LA-based label Lever Couture, featuring a sculptural flourish of pleated and boned fabric strips that curved up through the bodice and around the head, seemingly frozen in space, and a skirt so full that it extended above her head.
The dress drew admiration from fans on social media, but it also left some viewers at home scratching their heads. Some Twitter users pointed out that Tems’ ensemble likely obstructed the views of guests seated behind her at the ceremony.
The singer was nominated this year for Best Original Song for “Lift Me Up.” Across the red carpet and after parties, there were barely-there bandeau tops, salmon satin dinner jackets, a surprising proliferation of capes and at least one bow-tie with googly eyes on parade.
Tems’ look was one of the most daring of the night, and it was certainly memorable. While some viewers were left wondering if her ensemble was too much, the singer’s look was a standout among the other fashion choices of the night.
