Amanda Bynes had fans doing a double take this week after unveiling a bold new eyebrow look in a rare Instagram post.
The 39-year-old former Nickelodeon star shared a selfie video from her car, showing off thick, dark brows that appeared much fuller than her usual style. The change follows her recent purple eyebrow phase — proof she’s still embracing fearless reinvention. Flashing a peace sign, she captioned the clip simply: “in luv.”
While Bynes looked relaxed and smitten, the reaction online was anything but calm. Commenters quickly split into camps, with some questioning the dramatic brow makeover and others applauding her confidence. One user bluntly asked, “Why those eyebrows?” while another defended her, writing that the look was “fire.” Others were less enthusiastic, suggesting the style didn’t flatter her.
The eyebrow buzz comes shortly after Bynes revealed she’s heading back into the recording studio to work on a track titled Girlfriend. In a recent post, she told followers she was excited to get back to music and couldn’t wait to share the finished result. She paired the announcement with coordinated lipstick and brows and showed off a striking extra-long manicure.
She’s also added new ink to her growing tattoo collection. Last month, Bynes was seen leaving Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing in Hollywood with fresh lettering on her hand reading “Trap Star.” She later shared a close-up online. Her tattoos already include a small heart on her cheek, a rose on her forearm, and several tiny symbols on her fingers.
Beyond style changes, Bynes has been open about her health journey. She previously shared that she weighed 180 pounds and has since lost 28 pounds using Ozempic, bringing her to 152. She admitted she still doesn’t feel fully satisfied with her progress and hopes to return to her teenage weight of 110 pounds — a goal she’s pursued after gaining weight during a period of depression in 2024.
On the relationship front, Bynes recently posted a sweet tribute to her boyfriend, 40-year-old Zachary Khan, writing “love u zachary.” The pair reportedly began dating around September 2025, and sources have said he has brought stability to her life following her breakup with Paul Michael.
Bynes has endured a turbulent decade, including a nine-year conservatorship that began in 2013 amid legal troubles and substance abuse issues. The arrangement ended in March 2022, though she has continued to navigate mental health challenges. In 2023, she was placed on a psychiatric hold after an incident in Los Angeles and later completed a three-week stay at a treatment facility.
Through it all, Bynes continues to reinvent herself — eyebrows and all — while keeping fans guessing about what she’ll do next.
