When she burst onto screens as Marissa Cooper in cult teen drama The O.C. in 2003 Mischa Barton became an instant style icon.
Her millions of fans were desperate to emulate the waif-like actress' preppy onscreen look and glamorous red carpet style.
But after she left the show in 2006 Mischa has famously struggled to maintain her career - and her fashion sense.
But the 25-year-old appears to be finally back to her old self after a few years of questionable sartorial choices.
Last night Mischa stepped out in a flowing green maxi dress for the launch party for new fashion website www.pia-michi.com.
The actress looked perfect for the first day of summer with a dewy, glowing complexion and blonde beach-ready hair.
Mischa joined Amy Childs, Michelle Heaton, Lizzie Cundy and Elen Rivas for the party at Iberica restaurant in London.
Earlier the guests were treated to hair styling at the nearby Inanch Salon.
The ladies also had some girly fun trying out dresses from the Pia Michi collection, each selecting one to wear to the party.
Later Mischa stopped by new London nightclub The Box - her second visit to the already infamous venue in as many weeks.
Miss Barton arrived in London last month after attending the Cannes Film Festival.
Things are looking up for the actress in her professional life too.
She has four films slated for release this year, inlcuding The Sibling with Michael Clarke Duncan and Bhopal: A Prayer For Rain with Martin Sheen.
