Singer Tems walked the Oscars red carpet in a lovely white dress with a detailed collar that hid one-half of her face.
Given that it impeded the vision of many who were seated behind her at the event, many netizens thought it was excessive while many others thought it was lovely.
They rushed to Twitter to express their feelings. Some of which read:
@SybilAborisade:
“That is what we call “CANOPY” We are used to it here. But, we really need to show consideration to others. Put yourself in other people’s shoes. Ask yourself: “will I be happy if someone was to dress like this sitting in front of my view?”
@slimwishBone:
“She could have stood out in an Africa print design showcasing the rich culture of Africa/ Nigeria but she decided to go through with a stylist who made her outstanding but now in a bad light..Everyone is dressed simple only her hadthis kind of outrageous outfit …”
@Babyface80s:
