Tems, who was nominated for Best Original Song for her track "Lift Me Up" from "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," wore a stunning white gown that wrapped around the back of her head. 

While many praised her unique and eye-catching style, some were less impressed with her outfit's ability to block the view of other attendees.

One Twitter user quipped, "Imagine waiting your whole life to be at the Oscars and you end up sitting behind a stratus cloud," referring to the dense white cloud that often blocks the sun. Others accused Tems of being "rude" for blocking the view of those behind her.

Despite the criticism, many fans defended Tems and her bold fashion choice. One supporter said, "If you're sitting BEHIND greatness that is known as Tems, then perhaps you're just not that important." Another pointed out that the Oscars likely have large screens for those with obstructed views.

But regardless of the mixed reactions, Tems stole the show in her statement-making gown. And let's be honest, who doesn't want to make a grand entrance like that? As for the public's comments, Tems might just brush them off and say, "You don't need to see no other bodyyy".
