The biggest #hairfail of the night goes to Julianne Hough. The 24-year-old dancer turned actress said she was attempting to channel old Hollywood glamour, but instead it seemed like she was channeling a hairnet-wearing lunchlady. Quite a departure from her super-chic topknot worn at the "Rock of Ages" premiere earlier this year. 

January Jones looked more like October Jones with her witchy orange hair and oddly lighter blonde bun. A bizarre choice for the "Mad Men" star, who typically kills it in the hair department with her chic [...]

January Jones looked more like October Jones with her witchy orange hair and oddly lighter blonde bun. A bizarre choice for the "Mad Men" star, who typically kills it in the hair department with her chic blonde wavy bob.

Say what you will about "Mad Men" siren Christina Hendricks' sartorial choices, but one thing she always gets right: Her hair. So we were surprised to see her normally chic red bob overgrown and just sort of blah last night.

By now you’ve probably formed at least some semblance of an opinion about the standout trends highlighted at last night’s Emmy Awards (color! cleavage!) and probably learned a thing or two about what not to wear on a red carpet (a nightgown, Heidi Klum).

For us, though, the real issue of the night was a simple one: What was the deal with so many stars’ questionable hair choices?

From the second starlets starting parading down the red carpet, the questions began (a fair example: Why, Julianne Hough, why?!). It got to the point that we even started to think that the sheer amount of “wait, what?!” hairstyles were a pointed choice, designed to all but replace loose waves, simple buns and flattering color. As interesting as that would have been, however, we’re chalking it up to nothing but a widespread Emmys #HairFail.
