Its a fact that every year celebrities attend a slew of award shows. The majority of these red-carpet events essentially require the starlets to dress in fancy gowns that hark back to old Hollywood glamour. However, a few nights a year, celebs have the opportunity to let their hair down, and wear something to an award show that allows their true, perhaps eccentric personalities (well, or their stylists’) to shine through. The American Music Awards is one of these nights. We have a blast watching shows like the AMAs, because when a celebrity takes the reigns of coordinating their own outfit, particularly for a performance, we are bound to be treated to an array of bizarre and outrageous garments. This year, we spotted a plethora of accessory no-nos, including such adornments as eye patches, head jewelry, and absolute ridiculous hats. Here are our five favorite accessory faux pas that we spotted at this year’s AMA’s:

We totally think Nick Jonas is adorable, but as if the shiny ensemble wasn’t enough, the green tie makes our favorite Jonas Brother look like he has just landed from outer space… or even worse–the eighties.

Oh Rihanna. We can never get her catchy songs out of our heads, and unfortunately we can never get her over-the-top outfits out of our heads either. At first when she appeared on stage, we were worried. We wondered if Rihanna was simply dressed up as a pirate dominatrix, or if she had lost sight in her left eye! Luckily, she quickly took off her jewel-encrusted eye patch and we were rest assured that her eye was still in tact. The moral of the story is, enjoy this pop-princess’ music, but please ignore some of her wardrobe choices! We shudder to think of the day when eye-patches become a popular fashion accessory.

While we’re on the subject of eye-wear, let’s talk about Steve Perry. This rocker came fully equipped to the award show with…night-vision goggles? Or perhaps x-ray vision goggles to check out fellow celebs without his date knowing? All we know is, his insect-like shades kind of freaked us out.

Why is Alicia Keys’ forehead jewelry coming out of the top of her head? Unless Alicia Keys has converted to Hinduism recently, we’d advise her to leave the bling around her neck or on her ears.

All we have to say about T-Pain’s studded tiger top-hat is: this tiger should have never been let out of the zoo!
