It's generally a given that celebrities are strange human beings. But while the majority hide in their weird cocoons of sycophants and high-security walls, there is also a core few who embrace theis end of the spectrum wholeheartedly whilst not pausing to consider what a hater's gotta say. And it shows in the way they present themselves.
They're not always the best dressers in their respective games, but what's important is that these dudes really don't give a fuck about the perceptions of others, and that's admirable. To celebrate the strange ones, take a look at 10 Celebrities With Wild and Awesome Weirdo Steez, and get inspired to be yourself regardless of what people might whisper as you walk by.

Frank Ocean
Likes to wear: Headbands; samurai-influenced gear
The Odd Future crooner is probably the most toned-down person on this list, but what sets him apart from the pack is his willingness to take risks. Case in point: He wore a bright yellow suit and didn't leave his trademark headband at home for his first big Grammy's look. And in terms of taking it next level, some of his photo shoots and videos stay on that samurai steez. In general he usually makes an odd choice on an accessory or clothing item to steer the alphet away from being generic. It's almost quirky in a sense, but it contributes to the aura and air of mystique prevalent in his music, i.e., the desired effect.
Nicolas Cage
Likes to wear: Bright-colored blazers/suits; Boss Hog get-ups with Cage-face tees and canes
Nicolas Cage is a veteran of Hollyweird but his storied eccentricity rarely reflects itself in his personal style. Thankfully, that's starting to change as signifed by this truly awesome look he wore to a Guns N Roses concert earlier this month. Dude showed up dressed like a swagged out Southern ranch owner, complete with a cane and a T-shirt with the most awesome graphic of his own face imaginable. Love him or hate him, but there's nothing quite like a vintage Cage batshit performance. It's about time his style caught up with his crazy. We're all for it.
A$AP Rocky
Likes to wear: Runway looks, unique silhouettes, street goth fits, next-level fly shit
Before Young Thug blew up, Rocky was the reigning hip-hop purist nightmare, with his button-pushing HBA pieces, dress-length drapes, and a general affinity for things few others were doing, like neoprene shirts. Make no mistake about it, Dat PMF is the dude who broke down the notion of a staid hip-hop uniform, and countless fans followed his and the A$AP Mob's cues. As he stated so prolifically on wax, "Clothes get weirder." Don't expect him to fall back on that manifesto any time soon.
Jaden Smith
Likes to wear: All-black apocalyptic steez, superhero costumes
We've already written at length about why you shouldn't be quick to front on Yung Jaden, but there's no denying that his impulse to show out in his favorite comic book looks is quite far from normal. Will he get even weirder? We can only wait to see if the next Party City rental be Team Avengers or Justice League. Regardless, very few young celebs give as few fucks as Fresh Prince Jr.
Macaulay Culkin
Likes to wear: Shirts with Ryan Gosling print of Ryan Gosling wearing young Macaulay Culkin print, shirts with pizza prints
Surprise! Like 96.5% of all actors who come into the game during adolescence, your boy Kevin McAllister/Richie Rich/Yung Literate G in The Pagemaster grew up to be a bonafide oddball. He's in a band called The Pizza Underground—in which he performs kazoo solos, throws weird costume parties, and generally just looks a little off (drug addiction rumors notwithstanding).
Whatever's going on with him is clearly reflected in his sartorial choices, which can range from unfortunate parody tees, to '90s grunge, and most recently all-black rock steez. It doesn't always work, but we're here to celebrate the fact that these dudes are willing to swerve outside of pre-established lanes. Culkin is doing exactly that.
Russell Westbrook
Likes to wear: Leather; bright-framed non-prescription glasses; the wildest-print shirts available
Nine times out of ten when someone brings up the state of NBA style, Russell Westbrook is their first example. Since players started eclipsing rappers in the high fashion arms race, Russ emerged as the poster boy for the post-game interview runway show, drawing the ire of less daring dressers everywhere and attention from the likes of GQ and us. The Urkel frames, crazy prints, and bright pants are a part of his off-court identity, one that even non-sports subscribers are aware of. Dude has people talking, and please believe that he's not listening to the haters and continuing to do what he enjoys doing.
Jared Leto
Likes to wear: Motorcycle pants; bright suits; Jesus-inspired hombre hair; whatever tickles his fancy at the moment
Sometimes Jared looks like Jesus. Sometimes he looks like he's not sure what gender he wants to be. Sometimes he looks like Jordan Catalano. But at any given time, he can still take your bitch, so really, what can you say?
RiFF RAFF
Likes to wear: Anything as long as it's bright, Versace
Whether you're a fan of Jody Highroller or not, you can't front like he didn't come into the game with a very original sense of style and direction. No other rapper can say he came up off of a style they made up, because no other rapper is the NEON iCON. RiFF isn't even a household name, yet, but one sighting, one music video viewing, and his style code becomes quite clear. It's a crucial part of his character, and probably the most clearly defined and consistent.
Young Thug
Likes to wear: Dresses; any wave the rest of hip-hop isn't on (yet)
The rap game's newest weirdo. Yes, that was a dress he wore during a video shoot. He doesn't care about admitting it and doesn't care if you care. He also isn't giving up his rare dress shop location because you're not allowed to get on his wave. That DGAF attitude is just one reason why Thugger has the game's attention in both his unique sound and very individual sense of style.
James Goldstein
Likes to wear: Fedoras; crazy-patterned blazers; glamorous cowboy steez
The self-proclaimed NBA superfan is hard to miss in his courtside seats even if you're not looking for him, because whatever crazy old school rocker look he's in is guaranteed to stick out like a sore thumb. Dude rivals Craig Sager for iconic NBA fixtures with borderline trademarked style. Jimmy G's no fashion outcast though: he also frequents front rows beside any given runway during fashion weeks too. This guy has a signature look, and isn't gonna change for anything.
