Mischa Barton is a famous actress and model. She is a name we seem to have only heard recently with the words DUI, arrest and possibly handbags tagged on. But it seems despite all the gossip, Ms Mischa has just been doing her thang. Her latest success is bagging the cover of UK Marie Claire’s 20th anniversary September 2008 cover and with newly lightened locks.

Mischa Barton about meeting her fans:

Sometimes I am a bit surprised when people come up to me and they’re like, “You’re so nice! I didn’t expect you to be so cool.” It’s so weird because I’m like, “Well, how did you expect me to be?” I’m not really sure what people’s preconceived notions are.”

Mischa Barton about her DUI charge:

It was a low point in my life. I mean, the truth of the matter is, I was being irresponsible to begin with – I moved to LA and never got a license,” she explains. “I don’t know, it was just an awful low for me.”

Mischa Barton about the press coverage it received:

Even though, in a lot of ways, my upbringing has been quite liberal, something like that is embarrassing and appalling for my parents. It was a surreal experience and I was shocked at how much press it made but, the thing is, I apologized – and you have to just hope that that’s enough, because what else can you do? I’m just living life, and people make mistakes, you know?”

Mischa Barton about when she will return to TV:

When I understand it better. Because I didn’t understand it. When you’re 16, you don’t know what the hell you’re getting into. Like, I had no clue. LA was a shock to the system.”

Mischa Barton about her love life:

I’m lucky to know you can have more than one soul mate in life. But, like a true actress, I’m always changing the way I feel about who I want to be. Nowadays, I feel I’m settling more into a woman and I’m understanding who I am.”

UK Marie Claire has posted a behind-the-scenes look at the Mischa Barton photoshoot.

Mischa Barton Talks About Her Style

Sexy Mischa Barton may be Marie Claire’s cover girl, but she’s also does the new issue of InStyle too! Mischa spent a day with them, modeling the new season’s catwalk trends – from futuristic tailoring, to folk, to feathers!

In the interview given for the InStyle magazine Mischa Barton talks about what clothes she likes.

Mischa Barton tells InStyle that her own wardrobe collection is just as eclectic:

I live in vintage shift dresses or jeans, but there’s also a bit of everything, from designer to H&M, and, like, 50 pairs of shoes – that’s not so bad, right?”

Bags, though, are her weakness: in fact she’s just designed her own mid-priced range.

It was so fun and creative – you sketch them and they send back a computer image,” she says. “And I loved the idea behind Kate Moss for Topshop – that your fans can afford to buy your designs.”

So are there any plans for Mischa’s own fashion line?
