Getting ready to rumba! Mischa Barton goes make-up free as she jogs to DWTS rehearsals
She's been getting stuck into the first week of rehearsals and was, perhaps, seeking some extra help with her foxtrot.
Mischa Barton arrived to a practice session for season 22 of Dancing With The Stars on Thursday - and brought along her cute dog too.
The 30-year-old looked ready for action as she arrived at the Los Angeles studio, with Ziggy, her pet Pekinese.

The former OC star flashed her white sports bra in a loose fitting tank top, and sporty lycra leggings.
Going make-up free, she looked delighted to be meeting her dance partner Artem Chigvintsev, after being signed up for ABC's career resuscitator.
She arrived behind the wheel of what looked to be a blue 1973 Cadillac Eldorado, which she struggled to parallel park in the street.

It was reported that she had her new Volkswagen repossessed, according to TMZ, after failing to make payments on the automobile.
This comes just five months after Audi threatened to take the star's Q3 SUV away when she didn't send them a check.
VW filed a case against the actress claiming she leased one of the company's cars and stopped making payments, the site claimed.

TMZ obtained the legal documents, which they say lists the actress' debt as $25,000.
Barton has been having financial problems for the past year. There have also been legal issues with her mother Nuala.
Mischa was a child star whose fame exploded in 2003 when she was cast as Marissa Cooper on teen drama The O.C.
