The Young and the Dress-less: The red carpet can be a cruel and unforgiving place, a place where a flurry
of flashbulbs can transform an ordinary dress into a sheer disaster. Case in
point: Mischa Barton, who learns the hard way that mesh and
the press don't mix as she models a ... morestrapless black frock (the better for
showing off clavicles that can slice cheese) that has turned see-through under
the lights. Luckily, the "OC" starlet manages to hold on to most of her dignity
thanks to an abundant sprouting of what appears to be fungi on the front of her
unnecessarily complicated bodice. Barton fares little better with the rest of
her look, from her ill-fitting column skirt, which somehow creates the illusion
of bulk around her flat-as-a-pancake middle, to her sallow monochromatic makeup
and "Dynasty"-inspired hair, which together make her appear far older than her
40 years. What's that you say? Mischa is only 19? Yeah, right, like we're gonna
fall for that. You might as well tell us that Brad and Jen broke up. Say
what? Close
