Crazy hair, don't care!

Stars stunned in gorgeous gowns at the 2013 American Music Awards, but it was the coiffure rather than the couture on certain celebs that got us talking.

And no one got more tongues wagging with her bold 'do than the evening's Icon Award recipient, Rihanna, who hit the show in a hairstyle usually reserved for bed.

That's right, the "Pour It Up" singer styled her strands in a doobie wrap—a look created by coiling hair around one's head, and one that is typically worn at bedtime to set strands for the next morning. Never one to follow rules, RiRi rocked the look—bobby pins and all—at the high profile show, though she did dress the wrap up with the addition of pearl pins when accepting her award.

Jennifer Lopez also sported a head-turning look on the AMA stage, where she performed a tribute to Celia Cruz in a fringed bodysuit and a towering ponytail that had so much height, she could've left her heels at home. We haven't seen that much teasing and backcombing since the '80s, but leave it to the always bold J.Lo to defy norms—and gravity!

Elsewhere, gals opted for rainbow-hued hair to make an impact on the red carpet. Lil' Mama brought new meaning to the term "going green" with her hard-to-miss emerald bob, while singer Bonnie McKee showed off a fiery ginger ombre 'do.

And one color wasn't enough for Ke$ha, who was twice as daring as her colorful counterparts with hair that was half blue, half lavender.

Are you a fan of these daring hairstyles?
