    Should have kept the belt.  Should be holding the clutch and maybe picked it in some color?  Hair is tragic.  The overall look is alright… but could have been better.

    Wait a minute.  Mischa Barton?  Where the hell has she been?

    • Sobaika

      Off being a hot ass mess. This is the best she’s looked in ages.

      • http://profiles.google.com/sara.e.munoz Sara Munoz

        AGREED. 

  • IAmJ

    I love this look on the model. Mischa should have definitely kept the belt for some definition.

    • tereliz

      Totally agree. The belt is a nice pop of bright that keeps the pale pastel dress from looking old fashioned. Which is why she should have left the pale, pastel bag at home and gone with something brighter. Tangerine, maybe?

  • RzYoung

    Much prefer it with the belt but I really love the colour generally. Her make up looks perfect I think. 

  • quiltrx

    I have no use for her, the dress would have been better short, and I LOVE the clutch.  That is all.

  • mjude

    i just happy its a summer looking dress

  • MilaXX

    Not your dress, needs a belt & wrong shade of red. Cute bag, though.

    • GillianHolroyd

      I thought the same except the model seems to be wearing the same shade of lipstick and it looks fine on her. So wrong color dress? Ditto shapeless without the belt.

      • MilaXX

        The model and Misha don’t have the same coloring. Mischa needs a red with blue undertones.

    I think she looks great, way better than she’s looked in what feels like forever.

  • http://twitter.com/crush_onyou crush on you

    She looks great. I’d just say she needs the belt, and maybe pick that cute clutch in some color of the same family? Hair and makeup are fab by me.

    I like both the dress, and the bag, just not together. The off pale tones of the two items fight, rather than compliment each other.  I would have gone with a stronger colored bag if I were her style fairy.

    I don’t like anything about this look.  I know the bar is lowered because she’s been a hot mess, but still awful

  • Anathema_Device

    In the pro column, this is probably one of the few sheer-opaque-sheer dresses I’ve liked. It also fits her well. On the con side, I don’t care for the color, that lipstick with it, or the purse with with it. Also, she should have worn the belt. 

  • SpcilK

    She look clean and beautiful, quite a change. She should have worn a belt.

  • kimmeister

    Hunh, she looks like she could be related to Stana Katic.

  • formerlyAnon

    Pulling off, barely, a difficult dress. Clutch should have been a bright color, that oyster white just looks dingy – I’d have gone with a brighter yellow, but then I’m “matchy matchy.”

  • Sara__B

    Visible panty lines in the back. Ageing makeup (she’s only 26). A shoulder bag with a gown. Odd gown/bag color combination. This isn’t great, but she’s moving in the right direction.

  • frannyprof

    Love the dress on the model; hate it on Mischa.

  • guest2visits

    Really like the way the model’s wearing it.  The purse is nice; but it doesn’t go and detracts from the dress.
    It’s also a few inches too long; giving the impression that the fabric is all stretched out.
     Glad it’s light and wispy without being see through.

  • charlotte

    She’s still alive?

  • LesYeuxHiboux

    Dingy curtain ghost. Sadly enough, she looks a lot better than usual, though that lipstick color is horrific on her. Should have kept the belt and gone for a brighter purse. This dress would flatter her more in a rosy-tone. 

  • http://twitter.com/MandySCG MandyJane

    Makes her hips look extra wide without the belt, but otherwise I think the dress is nice. Hate the lipstick! 

  • tonibaloney

    Do your hair! GAH!

  • marilyn

    She is a skinny girl and the dress makes her hips look huge.  I don’t know if the belt would have saved it.  I realize she is trying to go for the summer garden party look (which we do not have much of in the US), but that is the wrong dress for her.  I don’t care if it is free from a designer.  Give it back and wear something else, even from her own closet.  However, the purse is spectacular.  But no matter how much she bandies it about, it will not save the look.  

  • sashaychante

    Her makeup looks pretty, although I’m not sure about that bright lip.  

  • http://twitter.com/urban_gypsy Tess Danesi

    Is that tiny belt what makes it look so much different on the model? I find it ethereal and beautiful on the model and a whole lot of meh on Mischa.

  • TheOriginalLulu

    Wow, haven’t seen this girl in ages! Wonder where she’s been.
    She looks good in that dress, but I’m not sure the bag brings anything to the table. It’s just blah with that dress. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_CQPXLNCBM5CZSHZZXJDHPVFS7E Buffy

    Would have been better if she kept the belt.  I like the bag, but not with the strap.  Lipstick is too red.  But I really like the dress!

  • Imasewsure

    I like the dress without the belt on her; hate the makeup; ditch the strap on the purse…. otherwise I think she looks great… love the summer dress at a summer event too!

  • http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

    She should have kept the belt, and I think the long-strap purse is really aging. 

  • nicole seligman

    god this is gorgeous ON THE MODEL. mischa, darling, please get up.

  • SophieCollier

    Clutch, not shoulder bad, lady.  I love that dress on the runway but it doesn’t look as chic on Mischa.  Lack of belt?  Sloppy hair?  Definitely the cluttery shoulder strap.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Jessica-TallGirl-Freeman/1043623567 Jessica TallGirl Freeman

    Mischa is looking pulled together here.  But that shoulder strap on that clutch, and the fact that she is actually using it, is utterly ridiculous!

  • http://twitter.com/kerrymccombs Kerry McCombs

    I like this dress a lot. Not a fan of the lipstick. But yes, she looks good here!

  • everest19

    Who?

  • http://twitter.com/Kikishua CMS

    Is it still a “clutch” if you wear it hanging by the strap?

  • TieDye64

    What? She’s still around? It’s sort of comforting to know there are things that remain constant in the world. One being that Miss Barton still doesn’t know how to dress herself.

  • poketom

    Needed the belt, and it’s called a clutch for a reason. And stop sharing lipstick with Anne Hathaway.

    She always wears too much make up.
