Is that you, Amanda Bynes? After wiping her Instagram account clean over the summer, the 34-year-old actress shocked followers with her return to the platform, looking nothing at all like her usual self.

The She’s the Man alum posted a snap of herself on Friday, October 2, sporting black hair and side-swept bangs. Bynes wore a flannel shirt with ripped jeans, white sneakers and clear glasses. The Nickelodeon star didn’t caption the post and disabled comments on the picture. Bynes — who cleared her account in July — renamed her handle "Matte Black Online Store."
