Mischa Barton will always be her OC alter ego in our eyes, and we reckon Marissa Cooper would definitely have approved of this outfit!

The actress attended a NYLON party in Los Angeles wearing a black wrap dress, buckle detail heels and this too cool for school sleeveless leather jacket. It's by Saint Laurent and we love the buttery soft leather, which is toughened up by those asymmetric zips.

Perfect for adding rock and roll vibes to any outfit, click (right) to buy a similar version of Mischa's jacket. Her exact cropped style is now sold out, but there's a new season version that we're sure will rock your world!

If, like us, you live in leather biker jackets for most of the year then this will be a great addition to your collection.

Or get the Saint Laurent look for less with the help of our edit below. Layer yours up with a cashmere jumper and skinny jeans to see you through the tricky transition between winter and spring.
