Amanda Bynes, Style Icon?

vf cover.jpg
WWD reports today that Amanda Bynes will launch her own Steve & Barry’s clothing line, just like Sarah Jessica Parker.

While we wait for her website to launch (so we can hack photos from it, naturally), let’s consider something:

Does Amanda Bynes have anything to do with fashion?

She was adorable in What a Girl Wants and magnetic in She’s The Man, but we don’t remember seeing her in anything but jeans and a tank top from American Eagle.

Do you?

Let us know if we’re missing something - meanwhile, we’ll consult our own Amanday Bynes cheat sheet:

The Vanity Fair cover from 2004 that stars her, the Olsens, and a handful of other teen stars. Lindsay Lohan may be all the way at the end of the flap, but she’s still rocking her unfortunate pastel outfit with some fashion attitude.

Is Amanda?

Whoa, that was obviously before Evan Rachel Wood got Mason-ized. What an enormous difference a few years makes, huh?

And how fashion-forward was MK's metallic frock?

I've always thought that Mandy Moore was the only one who came out on top of this thing, fashion wise. MK's dress is pretty fab though.

The weirdest thing about this picture though, and it still bothers me three years later, is that it's hard to tell whose limbs are where. It can make you head spin trying to figure it out.

she literally wears jeans and tanks from *abercrombie.

I worked at the Mall of America store last year (yuck...I know...) And she came in and I helped her out. She wanted to purchase the jeans she tried on but she didn't want to take them off to purchase them. We actually had to hike her leg up on the censor remover so tp tale tje censor off. It was pretty funny. She was so sweet and kind...but no fashion icon!

Actually, what always bugged me about this cover is Amanda's face. She is a gorgeous girl and why isn't she smiling? She looks so unhappy!

But the best part is Lindsay alllll the way on the back flap. Love.

i remember this! this helped fuel my "all things teen" phase. it's weird to see this now knowing the trials and tribulations that some of them have been through.

remember when the olsens looked like their diets consisted of actual food and not just something that came in a venti cup?

remember when hilary was styled by the limited too? (still trying to forget)

remember when lindsay and raven were roomies?

Memories!!!! still love alexis and mandy tho.

I saw Amanda B on Isaac Mizrahi's talk show (on the style channel) and they went shoe shopping. She bought so pretty hot flat black Chanel boots.

And also, haha, remember when Raven wasn't so fat? Ha.
