Amanda Bynes, 40, the Hollywood "problematic icon" and former queen of romantic comedies, has ditched her blonde and returned with a completely new look. The shockingly radical hairstyle transformation, along with news of her return as a singer, has captured fans' attention.

On the 16th (local time) Amanda Bynes revealed on her social media an update showing that she had abandoned the bleached blonde she had long maintained and transformed into dark black hair.

In the video, Amanda Bynes showcased intense makeup along with black hair cut into a "choppy bangs" style shortened above the eyebrows. With a nose piercing and long attached nail art emphasizing a hip charm, she shared scenes of spending a relaxed time with friends in a car.

This transformation is especially notable because it came right after she returned as a singer with her new song "Girlfriend." Amanda Bynes promoted directly to fans over the past weekend, saying, "My song is out on Spotify and all streaming platforms. I'm so happy because the response has been so positive." The new song is known to be a West Coast–style track featuring melodical rap and EDM.

Her visual change is also a topic of conversation. She recently said she lost 30 pounds (about 13.6kg) with the help of the diet drug Ozempic. Bynes, whose appearance had changed so much from before that it raised fans' concerns, is nevertheless regaining vitality along with her health.

Meanwhile, Amanda Bynes began as a Nickelodeon star and won global love with films such as What a Girl Wants and She's the Man, but later suffered from drug addiction and mental health issues. Since the end of a roughly nine-year conservatorship in 2022, she has continued various ventures, including a podcast and operating OnlyFans.
