Best of 2008: Celebs - 7: Mischa Barton

Fashion Sense: Ecclectic Hippie with a Rock'n'Roll Edge

I don't care what anyon says. I LOVE Mischa's style.
She was a little M.I.A. last year (can anyone name a single movie/series she was in?), but that doesn't mean she didn't use every opportunity to display her creativeness.

When she's just strolling around LA, she generally wears a simple pair of jeans and a band T, or a cute little frock - but she always manages to make the look her own.

Here are some of my favourite looks from her of the past year:

Black strapless dress

A LBD? Check.

Matching heels? Check.

Awesome bangles? Check.

Now, if it were anyone else, they probably would've stopped at that.

And yes, I will admit that belting a dress isn't exactly break-through stuff. But that belt is the reason why this look is one of my personal favourites: it's a studded belt.

Rock ooooon.

I can definetely appreciate this ensemble. It's is smple, it's elegant, it's classy - but with an edge.

Gotta love it.

Matthew Williamson gown

This particular gown shows how Mischa can go to a premiere, look awesome, but still look slightly like a hippie princess (which I love).

The white may be a little too white, but the cut at the bottom of the dress is interesting, and the bead-detail around the waist is very Pocahontas.

The dress is just begging to be worn barefoot, with flowers in your hair, listening to the Mamas and the Papas, and frolicking around a field.

Aaah.. good times.

Leopard print top with turquoise skirt

Again, the foundation of this look is nothing new.

But I can't resist leopard print.

I love the top, I love the belt, I love the high waisted skirt and I love the flats.

One thing worth mentioning: there have been a number of celebs who have tried to pull of the headband style (with little success - ahem, M-K and NicRic).

But the headband on Mischa just makes the look all the more adorable and hippie chic, but since she's worn it with this particular print and black tights, it has a rock'n'roll edge.

It's an awesome party outfit.

Rock on.
