Va va voom! Mischa Barton brings serious sex appeal in black strapless number at the Hammer Museum Gala

Mischa Barton added a naughty new twist to the classic LBD for a night out in LA.

The 30-year-old sizzled in a racy black mini that was slashed by the midriff and held together with sexy studded fastens. 

The former The O.C. actress put herself worlds apart from her days as a teen icon as she made her grand entrance to Hammer Museum's 14th annual Gala In The Garden on Saturday.

Mischa seemed to be in the mood to show some skin, if her dress was anything to go by.

The strapless dress put her legs on full display as it featured an asymmetrically cut skirt that also fell to the floor at the back.

Taking her footwear to new heights, Mischa opted to stand tall in a pair of seriously bold black lace-up heels.   

The star's blonde hair was tousled into a sexy bedhead style while her blemish-free complexion had shimmering bronze eye shadow and cherry red lipstick.

A generous application of mascara added some more drama to her face, while she gave her look another pop of colour with her ruby red nail polish.

Mischa has been enjoying herself with getaways around the world these last few months.   

She enjoyed a sun-drenched Mykonos holiday before heading to New York Fashion Week a month later.   

After forging a glittering career in her late teens and early 20s, Mischa attempted a comeback this year - appearing on Dancing With The Stars - but was booted off after just three episodes.

She is next set to star in several new projects, including the horror film The Malevolant.
