Let’s be honest: Tems could wear a hoodie and still outshine the stage lights. But at 7Fest in the Netherlands? She showed up in a sunshine yellow halter top slashed down the middle, held together with gold chains, and made sure everyone was clear—she didn’t just come to sing; she came to slay.

The thing about Tems is, she makes it look easy. Headlining international stages, shutting down festivals, and still serving visuals we’re saving to our moodboards.

So yes, she wore yellow. And yes, we’re still recovering.
