Tems Shuts Down the 2025 Fashion Awards with Pure Elegance and Main-Character Energy

Tems didn’t just attend the 2025 Fashion Awards in London, she took the whole event, wrapped it in lace, sequins, feathers, and stage lights, and made it her runway. The Nigerian superstar shared a series of photos that felt like masterclasses in poise: an open-back lace gown cascading down the red-carpet stairs, a black mesh look that glowed under stage lighting, and a backstage mirror selfie that could easily double as a magazine cover.

And just when everyone thought the night couldn’t get more glamorous, she stepped out in a sparkling purple dress for her performance, shimmering like she had personally negotiated with the spotlights. One of the standout moments saw Tems posing in dramatic feather detailing against the Pandora backdrop. giving “ethereal goddess with a touch of danger.”

Nigerian rap legend Olamide hopped into the comments to call her gorgeous, and fans did what fans do best: create an entire vocabulary of admiration. Words like “whole serve,” “elite aura,” and “murder” (as in, killing beauty standards effortlessly) dominated the timeline.

What’s even more impressive is how seamless she makes it all look. Fresh off Grammy wins, Tems continues to balance soulful music with fashion moments that feel intentional, bold, and unmistakably hers. She’s no longer just a music darling, she’s a style force, and London definitely felt the tremor.
