Back to her best! Amanda Bynes looks happy and healthy as she is supported by her parents at fashion school event

She has turned her life around since entering rehab last year.

And in a series of Twitter photos shared by Amanda Bynes on Friday, the actress turned design student truly did appear back to her best.

The 27-year-old looked healthy and happy as she posed alongside her mother and father at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles, where she is now studying.

Her parents have proved the key to Amanda's recovery, supporting her even when she rejected their help at her worst point.

A new leaf! Amanda Bynes shared a Twitter snap of she and her parents at a FIDM event on Friday in which she looked gorgeous, happy and healthy

Amanda was elegantly clad in loose-fitting khaki high-waisted trousers, pulled over the top of a basic black tank top showing off just enough skin to maintain class.

With a gold chain handbag slung over one arm, she posed alongside her parents, Rick and Lynn, on the backdrop of a presentation marking the 2014 FIDM Debut which welcomed the school's new students.

Her hair was coloured a pretty, natural shade of blonde and styled in neat and curls - a marked difference to the bleach blonde style she wore for a long time in 2013.

What a turnaround! The 27-year-old actress turned fashion student looked beautiful as she posed for a selfie with her mother at the event

The pretty star's face was beautifully made up with light lashings of mascara and lip colour, bringing her back to a naturally stunning state.

The Twitter posts mark only the third time that Amanda has made use of the social networking site since she came out of rehab to live with her parents and started studying in December 2013.

She involved herself in college life by using the hashtag #FIDMDEBUT alongside each of her uploads, clearly proud to be part of the reputable institute.

Amanda notoriously went through a very public meltdown last year, documenting her emotional journey via Twitter and being photographed out and about in various questionable situations and looks.

The next chapter: Amanda is moving onto the next phase of her life with her studies at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising which she enrolled in back in December 2013

Earlier this year she agreed to attend counseling sessions twice a week, in order to escape prosecution following a bong-throwing incident last summer.

Her lawyer Gerald Sharger said: 'This is an important step in her rehabilitation. I am optimistic about her future and pleased with the result.'

On March 1, Amanda tweeted her appreciation to her fans and mentioned that she was attending classes at the Fashion Institute Of Design & Merchandising.

'Hi everyone! I'm busy studying at @FIDM but I want to say I love you to my fans! Xoxo Amanda,' she wrote.

As a fan, and most of all, as a parent, this makes me so very happy to see. Mental illness affects so many families and can end up tragically. Thank God she is improving and I pray she continues to do well and excels in her new career path.

it just amazing the turn around in her and how her life has changed since she was treated. It is a totally different person i'm sure her family are so happy that they have their daughter back and she is like herself again. I think the film community in hollywood should support amanda and offer her projects if she wishes to go back acting because they should support their own community especially since she has been in the industry since she was a child and because it was not her won fault that she couldn't pursue her career cos she was sick. There was a good amount of hollywood actors who know and worked with her they should use their connections to help her out. I also think she should do an interview and discuss how wrong it was that alot of the media made fun of her and raise awareness for mental illness because of there was more awareness it might not have taken so long for her to be diagnosed..
