Amanda Bynes was spotted stepped out in Los Angeles as she marked her milestone 40th birthday.
For the special occasion, the Easy A actress was dressed in casual attire while enjoying a low-key outing and running errands.
She started her morning by going to pick up an iced coffee before heading over to a gas station to grab an energy drink.
The former Nickelodeon child star wore a gray, zip-up hoodie and a pair of wide-leg jeans with bow cutouts up and down the sides.
She completed her look with black sneakers and she carried a mini, leather Dior purse to match.
Bynes rocked dramatically long, acrylic nails, which she showed off just a few days ago during another caffeine run.

Her platinum blonde tresses were styled in beach waves and pushed back out of her face.
Bynes appeared to be wearing little to no makeup with the exception of her signature raven black eyebrows and a glossy pink pout.
During her outing, she also simultaneously showed off her weight loss transformation since she revealed she started taking Ozempic last summer.
The star has been open with her fans about using a weight loss drug.
Back in June of last year, Bynes shared her plans to start Ozempic in a candid Instagram video at the time.
'Oh, I'm going on Ozempic. So excited. I'm 173 now so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome so I look better in paparazzi pictures.'
The Hairspray actress continued by adding, 'I will post about my Ozempic journey of course.'
And then months later in November, Bynes offered an update after she began using the GLP-1 medication.
'I've lost 20 pounds so far. I'm so excited about that, to be honest. Also, I want to lose about 50 more pounds,' she expressed in a clip uploaded to her Instagram stories.
'I'm 163 now. I actually shot up on the Ozempic pill, shot up to 180 from 173. So I was able to lose twenty pounds from 180 and now I'm down to 163 on the Ozempic injection.'

She further added that the medication is 'working' for her and is 'trying to lose more weight just to feel skinny and cute.'
Bynes continued, 'So I will keep taking Ozempic and I just wanted to post about it because I know that I hadn't made a post about my progress on Ozempic since I posted about it months ago.'
Shortly before Christmas, the What A Girl Wants actress revealed that she had 'lost 28lbs on ozempic' and additionally shared that she was 'down to 152lbs.'
Following an outing last month in March, functional nutritionist Monica Partier told the Daily Mail that the 'weight loss drugs are really working for her.'
The nutritionist added that it appears the medication Bynes is on has been 'a good fit' for her.
'She also looks healthy with glowing skin, which suggests she is eating right,' Partier also said, before explaining that 'she is likely working out often to tighten up as she loses weight.'
In March of last year, Bynes opened up on social media and revealed that she 'gained over 20 lbs. in the past few months from being depressed.'
She added, '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.'
During a past interview with Paper Magazine in 2018, the actress talked about her body insecurities - which she said began after she starred 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 explained that having a short hairstyle and sideburns had, 'a super strange and out-of-body experience. It just really put me into a funk.'
Her insecurities later led to her drug addiction - and Bynes explained to the outlet that she started taking Adderall to help with losing weight.
After stepping away from acting, the star had multiple arrests for reckless driving, drug possession and also a DUI.
In 2013, Bynes was hospitalized for an involuntary psychiatric hold and was later placed on a nine-year conservatorship which came to an end in 2022.
The star has recently been teasing fans about her foray into music - and shared in January that she is working on a single titled Girlfriend.
And in February, she offered fans another update by revealing that rapper Fenix Flexin will be featured on the upcoming song.
