Amanda Bynes was recently seen hurrying through Los Angeles on errands following a whirlwind of public updates. The 40-year-old former child star, now focusing on music, thrilled fans with an unexpected release of her new single “Girlfriend,” featuring Zabba and Fenix Flexin. The track launched online shortly after she joined the Create Music Group distribution platform.
New Look on Display
During her outing, Bynes showcased her transformed figure, highlighting slender legs in navy shorts paired with a casual gray hoodie and UGG boots. She debuted raven-black hair swept back, revealing dyed blue eyebrows—a stark shift from her previous platinum blonde style.
Music Tease and Release
Bynes had built anticipation for months. She shared a snippet in January and announced in February that Fenix Flexin would feature on “Girlfriend,” calling it “straight fire.” The surprise drop caught listeners off guard despite the hints.
Weight Loss Journey with Ozempic
In December, Bynes shared that she dropped from 180 pounds to 152 pounds using Ozempic, posting an inspiring photo and noting, “I know I still look big but this photo is really inspiring to me!” She first announced starting the injectable in June amid its popularity in entertainment circles, aiming for 130 pounds to “look better in paparazzi pictures.”
By November, she reported losing 20 pounds, down to 163 pounds, and expressed excitement: “I’ve lost 20 pounds so far. I’m so excited about that, to be honest. Also, I want to lose about 50 more pounds.” She explained a temporary gain to 180 pounds before resuming injections. Bynes attributed a 20-pound gain to depression and set a goal to return to her teenage weight of 110 pounds. With boyfriend Zachary Khan, she confirmed the treatment works, adding, “I’m trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute.”
Additional Appearance Updates
Bynes underwent lip fillers in August and eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, in 2023, which she called “one of the best things I could have ever done for my self-confidence.” Last May, she got a Roman numeral X tattoo on her finger to mark a 10-year friendship anniversary with pal Dylan, who matched the ink.
