15 Amanda Bynes' Red Carpet Looks That Prove She's Not Just A Jeans And T-Shirt Girl
It is a well known fact that Hollywood's child stars often go through rough transitional patches on the way to adult stardom. With her reported growing pains in the media spotlight and scattered behavior of late, Amanda Bynes is one such starlet. However, Millennials who were tweens in the early aughts fondly recall her All That days at Nickelodeon and heartwarming romantic comedy films. Bynes is one of those stars who seemed to live in boot-cut jeans and white tees during her teens, slowly graduating to vibrantly hued frocks and body con dresses. Though her hemlines hiked up a few inches between 2000 and 2014 and the denim addiction fell by the wayside, Bynes always appears to wear ensembles in which she feels comfortable. For closet She's All That and What I Like About You fans, here are Amanda Bynes greatest red carpet hits, for the girl who knows how to rock a pair of skinny jeans and a Herve Leger with equal conviction.
Blue Satin
Though immediately recognizable as early aughts fare, this streamlined, striped satin frock is both flattering and demure.
Black And White
Bynes doubly demonstrated her sartorial know-how with this ensemble, first by selecting a timeless black and white palette, and secondly by choosing an ultra-flattering high-waisted midi skirt and fitted white top.
Laid-Back Lady
No, Bynes didn’t opt for a ball gown or chic tux for this particular red carpet appearance, but her choice of layered pastel thermals and dark wash skinny jeans is laid-back perfection.
Crimson Chic
Bynes channeled vintage, ’40s glamour in this ruched red sheath, its off shoulder neckline and slim silhouette the picture of Marilyn Monroe glamour.
Ethereal And Elegant
Sweet and simplistic, this pale, empire waist gown was an ethereal choice for the former Nickelodeon star.
Sweet And Simple
A single-shoulder little black dress paired with gold bangles and loose curls unified classic and modern style in 2007.

A subtly textured little black shift worked wonders for Bynes on the red carpet in 2007.
The Little Black Dress Part Deux
Bynes nearly showed up the stars of the night in this single-shoulder black dress at the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Grecian Glamour
A bejeweled bodice, empire waist, and delicate, drifting chiffon skirt gave Bynes a modernized goddess appearance in 2008.

Though her scarf, fitted dark wash jeans, and trench were timeless choices, it was really the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel that made this 2007 ensemble.
Herve Leger Part Deux
Bynes selected a hot pink Herve Leger halter for the 2009 Critics Choice Awards. Though the look couldn’t realistically be labeled a classic, Bynes radiated confidence while wearing it.

An electric pink silk shift, Chanel satchel, and deep tan combined to create one very Southern Californian effect.
Herve Leger Part Trois
