Amanda Bynes revealed a drastic new hair transformation on Wednesday.
The actress, 40, ditched her bleach-blonde tresses for a dark new look that she debuted in two videos via her Instagram Stories.
She showed off the eye-catching look, which featured short, blunt bangs, while sitting in the car with a few friends, just days after releasing a new song.
The former child star – who was seen rocking her blonde tresses a few days earlier – posed for the clips, showing off her bold, full brows and two nose rings.
The What a Girl Wants star sported black eyeliner and pink gloss on her lips.
She was seen combing her fingers through her hair with her long, white acrylic nails.

It was a major change from the bleach-blonde tresses she has been rocking lately
In another video, Bynes – who has lost more than 30 pounds with the help of weight loss drug Ozempic – was pictured posing in the bathroom in front of a mirror.
The transformation comes days after Bynes released a new song, after teasing her return to music.
The actress took to Instagram over the weekend to promote the single, called Girlfriend.
Bynes appeared in a video with freshly bleached blonde hair, heavy dark eyebrows, and shimmery makeup.
‘What’s up, everybody? I just wanted to let you all know that Girlfriend is out now on Spotify and all the streaming platforms,’ she said to her 675,000 followers on Saturday night.
‘Please listen. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I’m so glad you’re all loving it. The response has been super positive so far,’ the former child star added.
It comes days after she signed with the distribution platform Create Music Group.
Girlfriend was produced with assistance from Zabba and Fenix Flexin, with Bynes receiving writing credits on the song’s YouTube link.

The track’s cover art is minimalistic – a simple photo of a snowy landscape featuring powder-covered trees and a lavender sky.
Create Music Group described the song as a blend of ‘melodic rap with EDM-inspired production, creating a catchy, high-replay record with a smooth West Coast bounce’ in a statement shared with E! News.
The description continued, ‘Built around a strong hook and confident, flirt-heavy energy, it’s designed for repeat listens and wide playlist appeal.’
Bynes initially gave fans a snippet of the nearly three-minute song in late January.
Then, in February, she revealed in an Instagram post, ‘@fenixflexinofficial is going to be on my song GIRLFRIEND ! straight fire!!!!!!!!!’
The former All That sensation had previously told her followers, ‘I wanted to make a quick post just to let you know I’m going back into the studio tomorrow to work on my song girlfriend.’
She added, ‘I’m so excited to see how it turns out and I really can’t wait for you all to hear it as well.’
She last released a single titled Diamonds with then-fiancé Paul Michael in 2021, shortly after the end of her conservatorship.

The 58-second song marked her rap debut, and she later unveiled a longer version as well as a second single titled Fairfax in 2022.
Bynes graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019 and later ventured into podcasting.
She launched Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast, a collaboration with her friend, in 2023. The podcast was canceled after just one episode.
Continuing to explore various creative outlets, the former actress displayed work at an art show in late 2024, then joined OnlyFans in April last year.
Bynes quit show business over a decade ago due to numerous personal problems, including addiction and mental health battles, as well as a conservatorship that ended in 2022 after nearly nine years.
