Tems is making no apologies for her Oscars gown.

The singer was criticized on social media after her huge gown blocked the view of a number of attendees at Sunday night's Academy Awards.

The 27-year-old singer-songwriter — whose "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" track "Lift Me Up," performed by Rihanna, was nominated for best original song — wore a white gown that wrapped around the back of her head, restricting the view of those behind and around her.

"I guess the people behind the white veil don't get to see the show," wrote one person on Twitter.

On Monday, Tems appeared to respond to the backlash by posting a series of selfies in the gown on both Twitter and Instagram.

"Oops," she wrote on Twitter alongside four photos.

On Instagram, she shared 10 photos, captioning her post: "Uh Ohh!"

Tems' cheeky Instagram post prompted reactions from some household names, including model Naomi Campbell and Tems' fellow Nigerian singer-songwriter Simi.

"You looked stunning," commented Campbell. Simi said: "Lmfao. You looked beautiful."

Yung Miami of rap group City Girls and singer Snoh Aalegra both shared fire emojis in the comments.

Tems missed out on the award for best original song to "Naatu Naatu" from the Telugu-language film "RRR," which became the first Indian film song ever to win an Oscar.

"Applause" from "Tell It Like a Woman," "Hold My Hand" from "Top Gun: Maverick," and "This Is a Life" from "Everything Everywhere All at Once" were also nominated.

While accepting the Oscar, "Naatu Naatu" composer M. M. Keeravani said the song was "the pride of every Indian."
