Something in the London air makes Mischa Barton dress like a normal person

Email thisPosted Sep 22nd 2008 at 5:25PM by Kyle Hepp

We'll be the first to admit -- we admire Mischa Barton for taking chances with her wardrobe, but she gets it ~~terribly, horribly, ridiculously~~ wrong sometimes. So when the former O.C. star hit up London Fashion Week, amongst other events over in the U.K. we were pleasantly surprised to see her wearing cute outfit after cute outfit!

There were a few keys to Mischa's streak of hot clothes. First and most important, they were all figure flattering. She accentuated her body in all the right spots by wearing dresses and skirts with high waists to show off just how tiny she actually is.

And secondly, Mischa threw in enough winsome accessories, like edgy belts or funky headbands to stay true to herself. She looked good, but she still looked like the crazy, hippy, fashion risk taker Mischa we all know and love.

Moral of the story -- Mischa rocked every red carpet she was on in London. Browse through the gallery to tell us if you agree!
