The Nigerian musician and producer debuted one of the night's more extravagant looks, but the gown presented a problem for the people sitting behind her.
A nominee this year in the best original song category, the Nigerian musician and producer Temilade Openiyi, also known as Tems, debuted one of the night's more extravagant looks: a voluminous gown from the LA-based label Lever Couture. The dress
featured 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 spilled over into the surrounding seats. The bridal-style design was widely labeled as ethereal and angelic; it ranked highly on many social media users' best-dressed lists, But others, however, took some issue with its scale.
In a digital landscape that increasingly rewards statement fashion and values quick viral moments, outlandish occasion wear is becoming more commonplace. Just last week, during the Fall-Winter 2023 fashion shows in Paris, one guest made headlines after sitting front row in pajamas, a face mask and full set of bedding — blocking the view of at least three people.
