Amanda Bynes debuted a dramatic new look during her latest outing as she took a stroll Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, the 38-year-old former Nickelodeon host showed off her new black hair color when she stepped out to enjoy the sun amid the Southern California heat wave.
She had her long locks styled straight and her bangs pulled back as she enjoyed the fresh air.
For her laid-back outing, the Sydney White star wore an oversized gray T-shirt, which she paired with khaki shorts.
The former All That cast member, who declined to appear in Investigation Discovery’s explosive documentary series Quiet on Set, completed her casual outfit with a pair of black-and-white Vans and a floral cross-body bag.

Her latest outing came after she announced in March that she would “be wearing wigs from now on.”
Bynes explained at the time that her hair “grew so weird” after getting a short haircut.
A month later, the Amanda Show alumnus announced that she would be returning to manicurist school after failing to obtain her license on her previous attempt.
“Since I haven’t passed my final exam for my manicure license yet, I went back to school to study the theory of manicuring. This way I can practice applying acrylic nails before I retake the exam. Then I’ll be fully prepared if I get a job in a nail salon,” Bynes said.
In December, she announced her new career path and ended her podcast with Paul Sieminski, despite the first episode being “really good.”
“I was actually surprised and of course I wanted to continue after friends encouraged me to do so,” Bynes said after considering the decision.
“But after thinking about it, I’d rather get my manicurist’s license and have a steady job,” she announced. “I’m going to go down that path.”
Bynes, meanwhile, declined to participate in the docuseries Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which exposed predatory behavior at Nickelodeon.
A source told TMZ that Bynes was grateful for her time at Nickelodeon and didn’t feel like she had anything to contribute.

In one episode, former Amanda Show actress Raquel Lee Bolleau accused Bynes of spitting in her face multiple times.
“I was furious,” said Bolleau, 37, who recalls the director having to take her aside to calm her down.
Meanwhile, The Amanda Show creator Dan Schneider has defended his close relationship with the actress after being accused of toxic behavior by others.
“It was really hard to watch the last two nights,” he said of watching the docuseries.

“I’m facing up to my past behavior, some of which is shameful and I regret it,” Schneider added. “I certainly owe some people a proper apology.”
Schneider, 58, has also sued the producers of Quiet On Set for defamation.
