Temilade Openiyi, Grammy-award winning Nigerian and afro-pop singer, popularly known as Tems, has finally replied to those who criticized the dress she wore to the Oscar award event.
She wore a white couture creation from the Ukrainian label dress, which featured a sculptural flourish of pleated and boned fabric strips that curved up through the bodice and around the head.
Those who criticized the dress claimed that it was obstructing people behind her from having a great view of the award.
