Video: Tiffany Haddish links her #Oscars red carpet look to her late dad & African heritage

Tiffany Haddish's red carpet look has an extra special meaning.

Tiffany told E!'s Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet that the traditional African gown is in honor of her late father and their Eritrean heritage.
She shared, "There have been really awesome, really great times and some bad times. My father passed away this year and he's from Eritrea."
She recalled him telling her, "'One day you're going to end up at the Oscars and when you go, you have to honor your people.' So I'm wearing an Eritrean, authentic princess dress. And I'm PROUD of it."

#TiffanyHaddish's #Oscars dress is a tribute to Eritrea, where her father lived until he passed away last year.
