Amanda Bynes was showing off new two-toned hair color on Thursday.

The Amanda Show star, 38, was blonde on top and had black locks below. There also seemed to be some blue tints.

The star also had on heavy makeup with a septum piercing and a nose ring as she was spotted in Los Angeles.

Amanda wore a black sweatshirt and leggings with a black leather jacket while carrying a small black handbag. 

The former teen star was leaving a coffee shop holding two drinks – one iced coffee and one hot cup of coffee.

She slipped her feet into a pair of flat silver loafers for her coffee errand. 

Earlier this year, Amanda opened up about her struggle with depression and how that has affected her weight.

'I've gained over 20 lbs. in the past few months from being depressed,' the Hairspray star wrote on her Instagram Stories in March.

'I'm doing a lot better now and have learned to do opposite action when I don't feel like working out or eating clean.'

'I weigh 162 lbs. right now and want to get back to 110 lbs.,' she added.

These days, she is approaching her mental health in a healthier way than when she was younger and abusing cocaine and Adderall to keep her weight down.

She said she started to spiral after seeing herself play a boy in the 2006 film She's the Man.

'When the movie came out and I saw it, I went into a deep depression for 4-6 months because I didn't like how I looked when I was a boy,' she told Paper magazine.

The short hair and sideburns she wore for the role was a 'a super strange and out-of-body experience. It just really put me into a funk.'

That's when she started experimenting with drugs as a means of losing weight. This eventually led to an Adderall addiction. 

'I definitely abused Adderall,' she said at the time, after 'reading an article in a magazine that [called Adderall] "the new skinny pill" and they were talking about how women were taking it to stay thin. I was like, "Well, I have to get my hands on that."'

That whole experience was a big part of why she decided to quit acting in 2012.
