Bynes recently made headlines earlier this month when she returned to Instagram for the first time after wiping her account clean over the summer. On Friday, October 2, the She’s the Man starlet showed off her new look — black hair with side-swept bangs, a flannel shirt with ripped jeans, white sneakers and clear glasses. The brunette beauty didn’t caption the post and disabled comments.
In February, Bynes announced that she was engaged to the "love of my life," but her parents weren’t so thrilled with the idea. "Amanda’s parents are fully aware of her engagement and at this point are not approving Amanda to legally get married under the conservatorship," a source told E! News. As a result, the two called it quits three weeks later.

Bynes also got candid about her mental health on social media, writing, "Spent the last two months in treatment … Worked on coping skills to help with my social anxiety that caused me to drop out of school months ago.
