Eight months after being released from a mental health facility, Amanda Bynes, 37, has made a return to the spotlight with a fresh platinum blonde look. The former child actress shared a video on TikTok on December 11, showcasing her new icy-blonde mullet and dark-blue eyebrows. In the video, Amanda kept it simple with a black t-shirt, basic makeup, and her noticeable heart-shaped face tattoo.
Amanda took the opportunity to explain how different lighting affects her appearance and criticized paparazzi photos for making her look “terrible” due to harsh outdoor lighting. She emphasized that despite being only 37 and not looking old, the sunlight can create unflattering shadows on her face in outdoor pictures.
The actress demonstrated various lighting conditions in her home to show fans how her appearance can vary. She concluded the video by sharing her “secret” to looking good – finding the “best light” around her. After posting the video to her nearly 94K followers, fans praised her looks and self-confidence. Some commented that she slays in any lighting, while others complimented her beauty inside and out.
In another video, Amanda revealed that she had Blepharoplasty surgery on her eyelids, a procedure she had not been open about before. She expressed that the surgery significantly boosted her self-confidence and made her feel a lot better about herself.
Amanda marked her return to the spotlight by launching a new podcast on Spotify called “Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast” on December 9. The first episode, lasting nearly half an hour, was well-received by fans. She expressed gratitude on TikTok for the positive response and announced plans for the next episode, scheduled in two weeks.
