NEW YORK - Amy Winehouse finally let her hair down -- and it wasn't pretty. The 24-year-old singer was photographed outside her London home early Sunday barefoot and wearing jeans, a red bra and a pained expression. Her dark hair appeared loose and natural, in contrast to her trademark beehive hairdo.
Her publicist, Tracey Miller, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Winehouse, stirred from sleep at 6 a.m. by "a lot of noise," had stepped "outside her flat to investigate and was met by photographers."
"She was startled," Miller said.
Winehouse recently canceled all concerts and public appearances for the rest of the year on doctor's orders. Her 25-year-old husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, was ordered held in custody in London last month on charges stemming from a case in which he is accused of assaulting a barman in June.
"Trying to deal with everything she's dealing with and (she's) just under all this pressure now ... it's like her every move (is) being monitored," Miller told the AP.
Winehouse, who won critical acclaim for her second album, "Back to Black," which includes the hit song "Rehab," has become a tabloid fixture recently with her lackluster performances, health fears and reports of alleged drug use. In August, she spent time in rehab and canceled a series of dates in Britain, the United States and Canada.
