Mischa Barton dined at Il Sole with her mom last night, and the 26-year-old actress is looking better than ever! Earlier in the evening the former OC starlet hosted the LA store opening of the Japanese fashion house Growze, and not only does she look great in their clothes, but it seems like her decision to hire stylist June Ambrose is paying off as well.

The actress also showed off a tote from her Mischa Barton handbag line, and she chatted with CelebStyle about her expansion into accessories and clothing. "I've always had a serious love of fashion, and it all started with my handbag line," she tells the site. "This current clothing and accessories line has a fun, youthful vibe." Can't wait to see more of it!

Mischa Barton was all smiles as she enjoyed a solo stroll in LA with a cup of java, on Thursday afternoon.

The OC star has gone a bit MIA since her TV heyday, but now she's setting her sights on a new career: fashion!

Barton has been busy focusing on the launch of her new website, MischasPlace.com, which features her new clothing collection, consists of everything from flirty skirts and dresses to military style jackets and basic leggings, with prices ranging from $36-$280.

The 26-year-old fashionista is also hawking her cosmetics and beauty collections, as well as her handbag line. Keep workin' it, girl!

Mischa Barton may not have had any high-paying acting gigs over the past few months, but it looks like she's doing just fine financially!

Mischa and a blonde gal pal were spotted at the bank in Los Angeles yesterday, and after visiting the teller, the actress handed over a wad of hundreds to her friend, who appeared quite distressed. Not only that, but she gave her a very sincere embrace before the ladies left the ATM. Aww, what a great friend!

With an outfit like this, laundry day is the only acceptable excuse!

Mischa Barton was spotted getting her dry cleaning in Silverlake over the weekend, and the 26-year-old actress wore an awkward combination of a button down shirt, a sweater, sneakers and leggings. Sigh. Whatever happened to the fashion forward beauty we fell in love with on The OC?

It's Oscars week in Hollywood, and the 5th Annual Hollywood Domino Gala kicked off at the Sunset Towers Hotel on Thursday night, in West Hollywood, with a bevvy of glammed-up stars!

Among the celebs making an appearance at the event were Mischa Barton, looking stunning in a yellow-gold gown, supermodel Petra Nemcova in a sexy bright red dress, and new mom Ali Larter, who donned a show-stopping yellow mini dress, paired with more than $225,000 of David Webb jewelry.

The Hollywood Domino gala is organized as one big game, and the participants have pieces with that contain pieces of a screenplay, and player who writes the most convincing storyboard wins!

In addition, all proceeds are donated to the “Artists for Peace and Justice” foundation, which "finances and coordinates a wide-ranging education, health and dignity program on behalf of the children of Haiti."

Mischa Barton hasn't had the best luck getting roles lately, but we'll always remember her as the stunning Marissa Cooper on The OC!

Last night the 36-year-old 26-year-old starlet attended Domingo Zapata's Oscar Art Show in Beverly Hills (yes, this is the same event Lindsay Lohan went to) and since we last saw her, it appears as though her hair has gone from blonde to washed-out auburn. Not her best look, but perhaps it's for her part in I Will Follow You Into the Dark, which she's currently shooting?

The film follows Sophia (Mischa's character) and her romance with a man named Adam (played by 90210 hottie Ryan Eggold). According to IMDb, "After Adam disappears mysteriously into the depths of a haunted apartment building, Sophia vows to pursue him, even if it means walking over the threshold into the realm of death." Sounds ... amazing.

Mischa Barton's fashion sense has come a long way in recent months, and wow, she's looking fit and fabulous.

The former OC actress, wearing black tights and short shorts, hit up the Music Box Theatre in Hollywood to catch Morrissey in concert.

The leggy actress wasn't the only celebrity in attendance. Showing off her slender post-baby bod in an all-black ensemble paired with killer boots, Kimberly Stewart also enjoyed the show and took a night off from watching 3-month-old daughter Delilah. Perhaps the baby was home with daddy Benicio Del Toro?

Girls just wanna have fun!



Let's face it, in this town, when you're skinny, you're usually happy -- and if you've lost weight because you're on a "divorce diet," you're probably still happy that at least one good thing came out of your failed marriage.

But in the case of Mischa Barton, who isn't in the throws of a messy breakup, her weight loss hasn't put a smile on her face. Or maybe it's just the paparazzi who make her frown?

Whatever the case, Ms. Barton and her lovely, well-defined cheekbones, looked spectacular last night as she left dinner on Sunset Plaza with a friend. Now if she'd just smile ...
