Fashion Redemption: Mischa Barton

Okay, Mischa, I'll give it to you. This is not nearly as bad as some of your recent transgressions. You do not look like someone who escaped a mental hospital in 1987. You look clean and healthy. You're smiling. These are good things!

However, you look like my mother-in-law. Who is a midwestern woman in her 60's. And she would look just fine in this. But you are a woman in her 20's who lives in one of the trendiest cities in the world. You can do better.

Here is an outfit that better suits Mischa. It rings up at $95.90.

Fashion Redemption: Mischa Barton

I can only imagine that Mischa now goes out of her way to find the ugliest, most unflattering outfits out there. It's got to take a lot of effort to look this bad.

So here's a look that channels the laid-back vibe that Mischa is going for, but is much more flattering, for just $92.78.

Fashion Redemption: Mischa Barton

I just don't know about Mischa. She seems determined to wear the most unflattering clothes that she can find. I think she has a beautiful figure (she looks much better with some meat on her bones than when she was emaciated) but she needs to wear the right clothes to flatter her body. I have to say, though, that I'm digging the yellow brogues!

Here's how I'd update Mischa's look for $99.55.

Mischa's style is very touch-and-go, in my opinion. Sometimes she looks amazing, but sometimes her outfits don't quite work. Still, I applaud her for being a fashion risk-taker. I think that her look here is a complete success. Do you agree?

Mischa Barton's Look for $99.87

I was always a major defender of Mischa's style, because I appreciate fashion risks. But lately, some of her looks have been pretty questionable. That's why I'm so happy to see her rock this look. The black dress is slinky and elegant but the studded accessories are tough!

Mischa Barton is Boho Chic

I've never been a fan of blatant hippie style (tie-dye and Birkenstocks are not for me), but I'm loving the trend of bohemian looks that I've seen the starlets wearing lately. Mischa, Kate, Sienna, Nicole... they've been wearing funky and comfy boho looks that have a bit of hippiedom to them, but they don't look like they're ready to go to a Phish show. I think Mischa looks adorable here.

Mischa Barton in Sunny Yellow

Mischa gets a lot of flack for her wardrobe choices but I give her credit for taking risks. If I was as tall and skinny as she is, I'd wear some crazy stuff, too! Anyway, this little yellow minidress is a risk that paid off.

Here's the frugal version of Mischa's outfit:

Mischa Barton Wears Sequins with Sneakers (gasp!)
