So, Heidi Montag made waves at the 2025 American Music Awards, but not for the reasons she was probably hoping for! If you tuned into the red carpet coverage, you might have noticed her bold fashion statement: a dazzling blue corset and matching pants by the legendary designers, THE BLONDS. The whole look was stunning, but it was her wig that really got people talking. And not exactly in the way she had imagined.
Heidi, always one to take risks when it comes to her style, debuted a sharp, blonde bob wig at the event. A little different from her usual flowing locks, right? But while her outfit got some love, the wig? Not so much. Fans were quick to voice their opinions online, with some going so far as to call it the “world’s worst wig.” Yikes.
The Backlash Begins
The critics were brutal, and I’m not even talking about a few snarky tweets here and there. No, we’re talking full-on trolling. Social media erupted with memes, gifs, and comments all poking fun at Heidi’s choice of hairstyle. Some fans compared it to a Halloween wig from a party store, and others joked that it looked like something you’d find at a discount shop. Ouch.

Now, we all know Heidi has had some iconic moments over the years—whether it was her days on The Hills or her dramatic transformations. So, to see her get roasted for her wig? It felt like a total curveball.
But hey, if you think that’s where the drama ends, think again.
Heidi’s Response: “Switching It Up”
Of course, Heidi didn’t just sit back and take the heat silently. No, she responded with grace, humor, and just a little bit of sass. When speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, she explained that her wig was all part of her plan to “switch it up” and keep things “fresh.” Gotta give her props for that, right? She said, “I’ve never done this before, so it’s very exciting and just a moment.”
She even went on to reassure her fans that her long, natural hair would be back the very next day. That’s right – no need to panic, folks. The bob was just for one night. It’s all in the name of fun.
But while some may have found it fun, not everyone agreed. The internet, as it does, had a few things to say, and most of those things were… well, let’s just say, not so flattering. But hey, it’s the world of celebrity, and if you’re not getting attention – good or bad – are you even really out there?
Spencer Pratt Stands by His Girl
You didn’t think Spencer Pratt would just let the haters attack his wife without saying something, did you? Oh, no. Spencer took to his TikTok and social media accounts, calling out the critics in his own unique way.
In a hilarious video, Spencer jokingly responded to a comment that suggested he should’ve stopped Heidi from wearing the wig. He shot back, “Fancy wigs cost like 20k!” He then encouraged fans to help fund better wigs for Heidi’s future looks by pre-ordering her upcoming album, Heidiwood. Because why not? Turning a moment of online ridicule into a promo opportunity? Genius!

Spencer also took to defending his wife’s choice, stating, “A lot of people loved the wig. A lot of people didn’t love it so much, but you know what, we’re very thankful to be at the American Music Awards and having anyone talking about Heidi….” And honestly, he’s got a point. Love it or hate it, everyone was talking about Heidi Montag’s wig, and that’s what counts in the world of fame.
The Heidiwood Promo Tour
Speaking of Heidiwood, in case you missed it, Heidi’s debut album Heidiwood is dropping this Friday, May 30. And yep, you guessed it – the album is going to be part of the wig drama too. Heidi’s excited to be a part of this new chapter, and honestly, there’s no better way to get attention than with a little bit of controversy, right?
The album is expected to feature some pop tracks with a twist, and I have to say, if the wig drama is any indication, we’re in for some bold, out-there moves with this album. Heidi has teased the music on social media and is gearing up for a massive promotional push. We’ll see if the album ends up getting the same kind of online love that her new hairdo didn’t quite manage to score.
But hey, whether you love her look or not, one thing is clear: Heidi Montag is here to stay. From reality TV to music to the red carpet, she’s making sure people are talking about her. Whether it’s her wig, her music, or her totally unfiltered approach to life, Heidi is going to continue making waves—no matter what people say.
So, What’s the Verdict?
Okay, let’s wrap this up: the wig? A bold move for sure. Did it get roasted by the internet? Absolutely. But here’s the thing – it’s Heidi Montag. She’s no stranger to taking risks, whether that’s on the red carpet or in her music career. And with Spencer by her side, defending her every move with hilarious posts and jokes, it’s clear that she’s not backing down anytime soon.
Sure, some of the critics were pretty harsh, but is there any such thing as bad publicity in Hollywood? Personally, I say Heidi rocked it. She took a risk, and whether it paid off or not, she made sure everyone noticed. That’s what being a star is all about, right?
Now, let’s just hope her Heidiwood album gets the love it deserves – no wig required.
