Flashback Friday! Mischa Barton makes a red carpet attempt to regain her former style star status

She was once every girls' go-to for fashion inspiration before she dropped off the best dressed lists.

Now it looks like Mischa Barton is trying to make a chic comeback, with the star the guest of honour at style event Friday.

The 30-year-old actress was making the most of her return to the spotlight at the Boohoo.com event in Los Angeles.

The event was to celebrate the online retailer's Coachella Music Festival pop-up shop and so The OC star dressed the part.

Looking ready to hit the desert, the actress donned a Seventies-inspired long sleeved floor-length gown.

The pink almost nude dress featured a large lace band around the star's waist and buttons running the length of the frock.

While long-sleeved and skimming the ground, the dress still was sexy thanks to the buttons ending high on the star's thighs which allowed her to show off her toned legs and it fastened low enough on the top to show off some cleavage.

She was a true style icon in her OC days, and it seems Mischa Barton is back to her best in the style stakes as she hit the red carpet again recently wowing in a pretty pink dress.

Mischa channeled a bit of a festival vibe herself in the flowing maxi dress with lace waist and button up detailing - the boho girl's outfit of dreams!

Of course Mischa's pretty dress is by Boohoo so head on over to check it out for yourself.

No doubt, the actress has the long hours of Dancing With The Stars rehearsals to thank for her in shape physique.

She also has the competition to thank for reviving her career and ensuring her position on the stylish red carpet.

Celebrating her new show, Mischa brought along her dance partner Artem Chigvintsev as her date.

While the partners appeared to be having a good night out, they have been struggling to get in the groove on DWTS with the pair receiving bad marks from the judges.

Despite this, it appears Mischa's attempts to return to the spotlight have been winning her fans so she has remained in the mix. 

It was talk show host Geraldo Rivera who was sent packing on this week, with his Donald Trump themed salsa deemed even worse than Mischa's.
