Amanda Bynes shows off 30lb Ozempic weight loss and ditches the bleach blonde hair after surprise music drop
AMANDA Bynes was spotted dashing around the streets of Los Angeles on Friday, looking in incredible shape while debuting a new hair colour.
The appearance comes just five days after the singer, 40, surprised her fans by spontaneously dropping a new single called Girlfriend.
Sporting a casual outfit, Amanda opted for a grey zip up hoodie and navy shorts to complete her errands in the city.
To keep her energised and hydrated, Amanda had an iced coffee in her hand as well as an unopened straw.
She finished the outfit off with a pair of comfortable Uggs, a black designer bag and jet black hair.
It’s a major change from the star’s signature platinum blonde tresses, giving her an edgier look.
In December Amanda revealed that she had lost over 28lbs with the assistance of Ozympic.
Posting on social media to celebrate the achievement, Amanda penned to her followers that she was “down 152lbs” to date.
Amanda first announced that she was going to begin her Ozympic journey last June when the craze of weight loss injections swept the entertainment industry by storm.
At the time she described feeling “so excited” to shed some pounds and that she’ll “look better in paparazzi pictures”.
Amanda had previously opened up about battling depression and cited it as one of the reasons behind her weight gain.
It led to her becoming increasingly insecure, hoping to someday return to her teenage weight of 110lbs.
As she grew up, Amanda underwent some different procedures to alter her appearance.
Last August Amanda confirmed that she had gotten excess skin surgically removed from her eyelids.
She described the procedure, known as a blepharoplasty as “one of the best things [she] could have ever done for [her] self-confidence.”
Amanda has also had various tattoos done over the years, including a Roman numeral on her finger and a heart on her face.
Amanda is a former child actress who was known for playing various roles on Nickelodeon.
Some of the popular TV shows that she featured in include All That and The Amanda Show.
She won several Kids’ Choice Awards for both programmes, and later went on to star in sit coms and teen comedy films including What I Like About You, Hairspray, and Living Proof.
After the end of her conservatorship, Amanda pivoted to try out other creative pursuits including releasing music.
She released her first singles, Diamonds and Fairfax, back in 2022.
