Amanda Bynes enjoys casual LA outing after signing record deal on her 40th birthday

Amanda Bynes was spotted out in Los Angeles on Tuesday just days after signing a record deal amid her career pivot into music.

The actress, who turned 40 years old on April 3, wore a casual outfit as she stopped by a coffee shop before running errands.

Bynes was photographed getting out of her car in a light blue, graphic T-shirt with wolf imagery on the front and a pair of black, balloon pants. 

She wore platform sneakers and carried a black, leather handbag on her arm.

The former Nickelodeon star also appeared to be wearing little-to-no makeup, showing off the fading heart tattoo on her cheek.

She left her long, platinum blonde hair down and made sure to show off her dramatic purple manicure.

Bynes's outing in LA comes shortly after she teased her highly-anticipated return to music by teasing the release of a EDM and rap-inspired song in the coming days.

She last released a single titled Diamonds with her then-fiancé Paul Michael in 2021, just shortly after the end of her conservatorship.

Her debut as a rapper happened with the 58-second song, and she later dropped a longer version of the song as well as another single titled Fairfax in 2022.

On Monday, it was revealed that Bynes had signed a deal with Create Music Group, per TMZ. 

The label has worked with popular musicians like Jason Derulo, Keri Hilson and Deadmau5. 

As a newly signed recording artist, Bynes will be dropping a new song titled Girlfriend on Friday, April 10.

According to the outlet, she teamed up with rapper Fenix Flexin, a founding member of the hip-hop group, Shoreline Mafia.

The record label told the outlet that her soon-to-be-released song 'blends melodic rap with EDM-inspired production, creating a catchy, high-replay record with a West Coast bounce.' 

Byne's song Girlfriend is 'built around a strong hook and confident, flirt-heavy energy' and 'taps into a familiar L.A. sound.' 

Last week, she also shared a similar message about her inspiration for the song in an interview with E! News. 

'My inspiration was a lot of EDM as well as rap,' she told the outlet about the song, which she started working on as far back as February when she was hinting at her return to music. 

At the time, she said she was working with Flexin on something she described as 'straight fire.' 

She previously graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in 2019 and also ventured into podcasting. 

She launched Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast, a collaboration with her friend, in 2023. 

She displayed some of her work at an art show in late 2024 and joined OnlyFans in April 2025.
