Mischa Barton seems not to realize that when you're going to an Oscar party, you don't have to dress like Oscar's sister. Although maybe she got the dress from the gift bag -- it certainly looks like the kind of gold cellophane wrap that would line a vat of expensive freebies.
Mischa's sister, incidentally, looks amusingly humiliated.
bravo to mischa for graduating from her standard "my mommie put me in a beauty contest pose" to the much more fun "my mommie went to big lots and all i got was this stoopid dress" pose!!!
Is that a harness on her shoulders? Or is she just kicking it Star Trek style?
I let out a silent screen when I saw that picture. Why won't she go away?
This is actually a really classy dress ... for attending the prom in Ohio in the '80s.
Perhaps she's looking to be cast as the next Bond Girl and took her inspiration from "Goldfinger?" She even seems to have matched her skin tone to the dress. "For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her, it's the kiss of death..." Oh yes, it is.
I do love her sister's outfit, although I'm never sure why designers are so fond of that itty-bitty-boobies scoop/sweetheart combo neckline. Pick one, please.
This is the second time we've seen her sister rocking the eye roll in random photos on this site. (Last time she was with mischas beau). Perhaps that is her permanent expression?
the shoulders on both dresses are horrible!
I actually like the sister's outfit (I looooove her shoes). Mischa, on the other hand, has obviously gone blind. The thing is, I'm 100% sure she thinks she's fabulously, fashionably retro, but she's ever so wrong.
Is there ANY party that coke whore doesn't go to?
Mischa looks downright classy compared to her sister's dress, another example of Golden Girls fashion reinterpreted for the youngins. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I saw Blanche wear that exact same dress during that episode when she didn't sleep for four days.
Dude, C-3PO looks hot!
agree. but Mischa's shoes are also super fantastic, to steal the phrase of the manolo.
What is up with the awful waist detailing on both dresses?
Mischa's sister should be appropriately humiliated by her own dress. Seriously, when you're a size 2, how difficult is it to find a decent looking dress? how hard can it be to find a dress that doesn't make your boobs look ooh-so-wee-n-teeny while also pointing like flaming arrows to your poochy abdomen, which probably isn't that poochy at all except for all the weird seams and gatherings.
I mean, c'mon, you can get a dress at Ann Taylor for 150 bucks that would look ten times better.
M's shoes are fab though. I can tell I'm getting geriatric becuase all I can imagine is how they're torturing her poor feet.
(Proof I am turning into my mother with this comment BUT)
DOESN'T ANYONE STAND UP STRAIGHT ANYMORE?
Just think how many champagne wrappers it took to make that dress.
Just think how many champagne wrappers it took to make that dress.
Is it any big surprise to anyone that her sister has the same face in every picture? I mean, come on, Mischa has the same look in every scene on "The O.C." I think wooden facial expressions must run in the Barton clan.
Also, if I were a pirate I would be in love with Mischa's dress.
However, the shoulders on both dresses look as though they were either A) made for a 90-year-old woman or B) attacked my a rabid feline from behind the dumpster in the alley out behind Olive Garden.
I just looked at the picture again and....is it me or is Mischa's right hip bone totally and completely sticking out???
Food is your friend, my dear. Learn to love it and it will love you back.
I think she and her sis arrived in the same dress. Mischa, in a frenzy, ran to the bathroom, stapled kleenex to the bottom of her hem, and spray-painted the whole think gold.
Sort of little Pretty in Pink, on crack.
People, I was having fun with the "Alzheimer's Chic" comments for a while there, but now I'm really starting to get scared.
My 78-year-old dad and his same-age girlfriend love to go dancing with others of their generation, and they often show me pictures of the Masonic Ball or the Historical Society Levee or whatever. I swear to Baal that I have seen photos of women in their 80s wearing both of these dresses and--this is the scariest part--looking better in them than les soeurs Barton.
Come on, kids! The geezers and geezerettes have already snagged all the Social Security; they're clogging the roads with their enormous Buick LeSabres; they're filling the supermarkets with their adult diapers, supplement drinks, high-fiber prune cereal, and other oldster crap--PLEASE! Don't let them dominate the fashion industry as well!
Mischa's sister would look fantastic if she'd get rid of the 1992 sunday school jacket. I think she looks adorable and entirely age-appropriate.
Mischa,
It's apparent from the way you've been dressing for the past year or so that you think you are something of a celebrity scenester whose look is really "edgy." It isn't. First, tapered-leg jeans. No. Couldn't pull it off if you were Debbie Harry reincarnated. Then that muu-muu quilt dress that my grandma in Boca would say was hideous. And now - gold lame. An absence of a stylist (which you honestly think you DON'T NEED??) added to the perpetual blizzard in your nose were probably the factors that came together and told you this looked good. It doesn't. Tina Turner circa 1985 would tell you that dress is tacky. DRAG QUEENS circa 1985 would tell you that dress is tacky. And you should believe them, because that is quite possibly the fugliest dress of the Oscars.
Love,
A Disgusted Viewer of Fug
P.S. Drugs (well, going thru a gram of coke per night) are bad, MMM-kay?
Wow, I think my Barbie had that dress back in 1982. Two words for you: Solid Gold.
Hilarious. I saw this dress and was waiting for it's appearance here.
It is truly hideous. I hate this girl. Truly.
Hilarious. I saw this pic and knew it would show up here.
This is truly hideous. I hate this girl. Truly.
I can't decide...does she look like a giant Scuncci hair band, or the hard candy my grandmother used to have in her candy dish.
That is exactly the sort of dress Peg 'Married with Children' Bundy would have worn a gay funeral in New Orleans.
The lamé foil envelopes were intended as sistah-sushi wraps, mais non?
Were Ho-towns creaky leathery set of predators like Jack, Huge Grunt, Usher et-al vicariously playing Statutory Roulette with these two underage sistah-twinkies?
Didn't Hugh Grunts street darlin Desiree Brown doll up in gold lamé in her mug shot?
Mischa's outfit smacks of Sammy Jo (also known as Heather Locklear) during the Dynasty 1980s reign. I think Sammy Ho wore this to Krystle's second wedding to Blake, if I recall
Her sister always seems to look like that. Maybe she's going through the surly phase of her teen years.
Crystal Carrington wants her dress back, Mischa.
adam p totally called it, but i am curious about the hem of MB's dress, those shirley temple curls. what fabric curls like that? i'll tell you: none. it's quite clear that, as Heather astutely observered, she resourcefully used the oscar gift bag as her dress. i think it's really cute how she used the ribbons, too. it's like at a bachelorette party when you get the ribbons from the gifts and put them through a plate for the rehearsal bouquet but done to dress for a major awards show. can anyone say The New Martha Stewart?
Mischa is coming dangerously close to taking First Place Fug from La Peldon.
Maybe she can't afford a stylist because of all that coke going up her nose.
Hollywood Montrose WISHED he could have paired these two gems for his fabulous window designs. Alas, it's Jonathan and his *Mannequin* Emmy who came up with this brainstorm.
I wonder if Kim thinks back on that and winces.
Oh. My. Gosh. I wore that exact same dress to my high school prom in 1986, only it was burgundy, not gold.
The apocalypse has officially arrived! Lord, take me now.
She looks like a gold foil wrapped fruitcake.
The shoes, the dress.. the purse?! What's up with the purse.
in fact, they both completely miss the boat on accessories, looking far more like they're showing up for the jr. high sock hop than an Oscar post party.
It looks like she got her dress from the set of Star Trek.
Live long and prosper, Mischa.
You know, I'm really developing a subsidiary contempt for the perpetu-bored little sister.
Girl, if I'd been invited to the Oscars at your tender age I would ABSOLUTELY NOT have been standing around looking like OMGTHISISSOQUEER. I would have been, oh, I dunno... ECSTATIC??
Hell, I still would be ecstatic, even in my jaded and cynical middle age. But then, I'm like totally lame OMG.
Mischa defines heinous.
But WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH would induce ANYONE to wear a dress that makes your boobs look small enough to fit into the same toe of your fugly mismatched shoes?
I think her sister should be sainted, honestly.
My friend wore an almost identical dress ( in a raspberry sort of colour ) to our Grad in 1987. Was Ms. Barton even alive then? That style was tacky 18 years ago and it's even worse now.
I'm absolutely in love with how often the Golden Girls are referenced here.
I seem to recall a Barbie I had in 1986, that came in that dress. Except Barbie, and bigger breast, better hair... and a stiffer boyfriend. :-P

Mischa borrowed her dress from Jem...remember that cartoon in the '80s? Only, you've really gotta have pink hair and red star shaped earrings to rock a dress like that. Feh. I've always thought Mishca's fashion sense was way overrated, anyway.
How old is Mischa's sister? Is she old enough to drink alcohol? Clearly, if she's stepping out with that fashionless, talentless twerp, she might need a shot or two of vodka to numb the pain.
The cut of the dress, once you minimize the glare goggles you would use for walking on the sun, is actually very out-dated. It's just not a nice dress and gold plate is not going to fix it!
What is the sister thinking with that dress? That breast look....
I like Mischa, but WHATTHEHELL?! The dress looks like she put a dozen different GOLD LAME hair ties together and made them into a dress. She MOST DEFINITELY needs a stylist!
BTW: I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Didn't Jessica Spano wear that when she went to the Bayside prom as Cleopatra to Slaters Marc Anthony? You know and they sang How am I supposed to live without you, and Zack and Kelly broke up outside on the lunch bench. That Was like totaly awsome!
Wow, bad. Especially the poofy crap at the bottom. Are the shoulders all cut to pieces?
Her sister should look humiliated, why wouldn't you when you are wearing a nearly sperm coloured dress that has stitching outlining your boobs? Is that netting on either side of the dress and along the top? What is that?
MB looks "crunchy" but her sister is too cute! Complete vintage 1940's (including hair) she'll be rich, happy and healthy when misha and brandon are old and hanging at The Grove!
That's what happened to my Glitter'N'Gold Jem!!
The only thing missing is the crimped hair. Mischa, you so, like, totally, let me down...fer sure.
There is bad. There is worse. Then, there is pathetic, horrible and the ultimate fug. And...then there is Misha's dress.
I still wonder why Ms Barton is always lauded for her amazing fashion taste when she shows up in numbers like these. That's not quirky, that's just arrrg-ly.
At the Copa, Copa Cabanna, I think this is the dress cut down to THERE. Damm, now I have the song in my head..
10 bucks says Mischa made Anya wear that dress, and she realizes just how bad it is. Her expression is saying "Yes. I KNOW."
I didn't know she was moonlighting as a Cocktail waitress at the Luxor?!
Does the acronym the O-C stand for Ovarian cysts?
Hopefully along with the show they can be permanently eliminated and eradicated!
Sister Bartons wonderfully emoting pleading look says.....
Mischa dragged me to the Oscars and I all got was this stoopid dress!
Stop stop stoppity stop stop. My eyes; they bleed.
i swear she looks like a giant fererro rocche .
AH! What's with the Gold? Dynasty much? Oh hell,who am I kidding, they had better clothes than this back then.
King Midas called, he's wants his gold back.
I was wondering why everyone thinks Bischa Marton (I like that better) is on coke. Did I miss a rumor?
I don't think she does coke. You'd have to be on ACID to wear that crap.
Ugh, sisters. Ashlee and Nicky and Haylie and Britney's sister whoever... I am SICK of them all. A talented sister (and let's be honest, none of them really are) does NOT mean you can suddenly be a star too!
Besides, who goes to an Oscars party with their SISTER? Um, hello, how popular is the OC? She couldn't get a guy? Any guy? Even a pretty face, no brains, please-don't-talk kind of guy? Yeesh.
why does she stand that way in every pic? Legs crossed, head cocked to one side? she looks like she's trying to shrink, or disappear.
Agreed about the rash of clinging sisters. Unless you're Joan Fontaine, in which case your sister is Olivia DeHavilland, please don't be pimpin' your sibs into the biz. Just the one of you is too much.
uh oh...I thought Mischa did look pretty in this dress. Too young to revile the first gold lame fad?
At least her sister looks great.
Her sister seems to be in a perpetual state of "shoot me now." She should check out her OWN embarassing outfit though.
Maybe she was going to be presented as "special award" to someone later that night?
The sister practically looks like old Hollywod glamour. I can't keep my eyes off of her. Oh and Mischa, stop raiding the back of Vana White's closet.
Looking at her makes me want to go out and eat a cheeseburger.
shut up,all of you, Mischas gorgeous but made one terrible fashion error that night....she usually dresses beautifully.
i totally agree wiv wk. mischa usually looks gr8 and her sister is one fugly biacth
by the way u do no that u all got her name wrong its hania barton
