Amanda Bynes spotted with new look during rare public appearance in Los Angeles

Former actress Amanda Bynes was recently spotted in Hollywood, showcasing a new look during a rare public outing.

Amanda Bynes, the former Nickelodeon star, was recently seen in Hollywood during a rare public appearance, sporting a new look. The 38-year-old actress was photographed on Wednesday, August 7, with jet black hair and long nails as she took a stroll in the city. Bynes was dressed casually in an oversized gray t-shirt, khaki shorts, and a crossbody bag.

I don't know what happened to Amanda Bynes behind closed doors or the amount of trauma she sustained from it.

But I pray for a future where this stops happening to children. Hollywood is run by evil people. pic.twitter.com/8e8MS18eNO

This sighting marks one of the few public appearances Bynes has made in recent years. In March, she shared with her followers that she would "start wearing wigs now" after getting a buzzcut in late 2023. Bynes explained that she was unhappy with how her hair was growing out, describing it as "growing out so awkwardly."

In addition to discussing her hair, Bynes has been open about her struggles with weight gain due to depression. She mentioned earlier this year that she hoped to lose over 50 pounds to reach her goal weight.

Bynes, who gained fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s with roles in All That and The Amanda Show, has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years, focusing on her personal well-being. Her recent appearance in Los Angeles has sparked interest among fans who have been following her journey.
