Heidi Montag stirred up headlines after her red carpet appearance at the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26. Attending the event with husband Spencer Pratt at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the Hills alum unveiled a bold new look that sparked a flurry of online reactions. The reality TV star turned heads in a sparkly blue corset and coordinating pants designed by THE BLONDS. However, her dramatic shift from long waves to a short, blunt blonde bob stole the spotlight.
The dramatic switch from her usual long blonde hair to a cropped bob sparked a wave of online criticism. One commenter compared her look to a “drag queen,” while another said it was “giving Kim Zolciak” from Real Housewives of Atlanta. One user posted on X, “I’m choosing to believe Heidi Montag wore the world’s worst wig on purpose for attention. never change Speidi.” Another commented, “Heidi been serving so many great looks with her natural hair whyyyy did she need a wig? #AMAs.”
However, Montag seemed unfazed by the criticism. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, she described the new look as an exciting change. She said, “We just thought, ‘Switch it up a little bit,’ and keep it fresh. I’ve never done this, so it’s very exciting and just a moment.” She also clarified that the transformation was not permanent, promising her usual long hair would return “like magic” the very next day.
Later that night, Montag expressed her excitement on social media. She posted on X, “Had so much fun at the @AMAs tonight. Feeling glamourous in this look by @theblondsny.”
