Red carpet looks are bound to cause buzz. But typically it’s a certain outfit that sets the whole world ablaze: think Bjork’s Swan dress or the J. Lo dress that invented Google Images. Pop star and actress Zendaya arrived at the 2016 Grammys in a perfectly normal outfit, but it was her hair that caught people’s eyes. The singer arrived rocking a full-on mullet, achy-breaky style.

Comparisons to the world’s most-famous mullet were quick:

Some thought Zendaya might have used a little bit of hair alchemy to get such an… interesting look.

Choosing the Grammys to debut such a wild hairstyle definitely seems like it would have been Bowie-approved. Though, some Twitter users thought she could have been shouting out a less transgressive figure.

But, most just couldn’t help but make jokes:

The truth of that last one is just brutal.

Though it did have its fair share of fans:

So, what do you think? Were the internet hordes far too quick to judge? Or did Zendaya deserve the ribbing she got for her outlandish hairstyle? Regardless, it’s definitely got you talking about her.
