Actress Amanda Bynes returns to spotlight

A happy and healthy looking Amanda Bynes returned to the spotlight by attending a local fashion show in Santa Monica, California.

Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has returned to the public eye on Friday to attend a fashion show in Santa Monica, California, her first public appearance since leaving rehab.

The former child star was admitted to hospital after being placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold following months of bizarre behaviour. She completed a stay in rehab in December.

Bynes is now living with her parents in California and studying at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Orange County.

She attended the college's fashion show at the weekend and detailed her outing in a series of posts on her Twitter page, sharing snaps of herself looking happy and healthy.

"Some of the many beautiful desings from last night!" Bynes wrote.

Bynes returned to Twitter earlier this month after months of silence.
