Amanda Bynes makeover: Unrecognizable with edgy new look

Amanda Bynes posted a photo of a new makeover on her Twitter account according to the New York Daily News on March 11. The new photo shows such a dramatic change in appearance that it is leaving her fans wondering if it is really her.

Last Sunday, Amanda tweeted "Wink ;)" along with a photo of herself with long, curly blond hair, a red beanie cap, heavy makeup and cheek piercings. This new look is a complete transformation from her usual girl-next-door look.

Since September of last year, Bynes has been facing legal issues coupled with bizarre behavior. According to the L.A. City Attorney's Office, she was charged with two separate counts of hit-and-run stemming from incidents which occurred in April and August of 2012.

Bynes was also charged with DUI and had her license revoked in April 2012 after side-swiping a patrol car. Because she continued to drive without a license, her car was eventually impounded, and she was charged with driving with a suspended license.

More recently, according to her tweets, she also appears to be having relationship issues. A series of tweets all relating to love followed her post of the new radical makeover pic, along with the tweet "Forgetting past memories", and is leaving her fans wondering if this is a permanent new look meant to completely reinvent herself, forget the past and start over.

What do you think? Is this the new Amanda Bynes or is she just playing dress-up again? Sound off in the comments.
