Mischa Barton worked her smoky-eyed stare and cute dresses for the January issue of Vogue India. Lately most Mischa stories are about her DUI back in December, but these photos remind us of that California blonde we fell in love with on TV. It's probably about time that we stop the Marissa/Mischa comparisons, but if she's still doing it, we figure we can too. In the article, she talks about her interesting sense of style and handling the pitfalls of fame. Here are highlights:
- On her character's death: "I do think that Marissa had run her course, not for any reason other than that the writers were drawing blanks as to where to go. She went through too much too quickly, she was a wild card and this was making her consistently difficult to play. It just seemed right, as sad as it was."
- On her fashion sense: "I feel like Marissa was modelled after me—we had similar styles, but since Marissa was born and raised in California she was more casual. I am more eclectic. I'm influenced by everything—movies, photography, travel. I love to pair vintage pieces with current."

- On being a celebrity: "Fame is a challenge, but if your heart is really in your work then you can overcome that. I think you either have your head on your shoulders or you don't. I'm really close to my family and am lucky to have friends in lots of cities who for the most part aren't actors, or have 'normal' jobs, which takes my mind off the industry I'm in."
- On trying to keep her privacy: "For me it's the absolute worst when people call you fat or make fun of the way you look, because it really hurts. I'm quite a softy, so things like that can make me depressed."
While Mischa downplays the time she spends with her entourage of very famous friends, we know she's still a part of that LA starlet set. At the end of the day though it's humbling to see she's still got insecurities like the rest of us.

Her smoky-eyed stare makes her look like she wants to say something, but can't quite think of what.
1Marissa who? Mischa who?
2"I'm influenced by everything therefore i throw on too many things at once and end up looking like a hobo". Style?? she has no style.
3I think she should stick with modeling!

5Ehh..I don't like the way she dresses.
6I really don't like her.
7Ew. I don't like her
8"For me it's the absolute worst when people call you fat or make fun of the way you look, because it really hurts. I'm quite a softy, so things like that can make me depressed."
I wonder how would she feel when she's called a drunk?
9Why do you people trash talk so much? Have you even met the girl?
10Well, at least she's working unlike other 'starlets'. She's cute and I hope she does well.
11give it up, the oc is way over.
12Love Mischa!
13Sorry guys! www.theskinnywebsite.com
14Mischa really should stick with modeling, some of her best acting work was done years ago when she was much younger. Loved her in the first year of The OC though.
15Love those shoes she's wearing !
16She is gorgeous. Love the pink.
17who has ever called her fat?!
18So, suddenly she's not bagging Marissa out and saying how different they are?
19These pictures also remind us that the only gigs she seems to get lately are the ones where she just has to sit there and look pretty.
20Reply to nyaradzom2001: I guess that that "hobo style" is what got her on the cover of 206 magazines worldwide. Probably these mags choose her because she has "no style"! lol!
21I love Mischa Barton. Even with her DUI, she still keeps it together, besides her bright yellow hair with dark roots. Marissa was an interesting character, and brought more color to the OC. Although she messed up quite often on the OC, the show fell when she died.
22i was in barnes and noble a few months ago and she was on the cover of almost every fashion magazine looking gorgeous!
