Mischa Barton: That Vodoo That You Do So Well

Must Have Left Her “Will Pose For Food” Sign In Her Purse

In lieu of actual talent or even a whiff of a titillating scandal, Misha Barton has been using the time during her extended hiatus from any discernible form of employment since The O.C. to mount a futile effort to pass herself off as some sort of fashion icon, like the long-lost love child of a petri dish rendezvous between Nicole Richie and the Olsen twins with an accidental DNA dose of Agyness Dyn.

There was her Woodland nymph period were she was some kind of foot soldier in the Headband Army that’s led by General Blair Waldorf and Brigadier General Aubrey O’Day, with an assist from Colonel Paris Hilton.  And of course who can forget her Annie Hall meets Ellen DeGeneres stage in baggy pants and bowler hats.  As if an outfit switcheroo will land her a Shakespearean script instead of a part as Blonde Girl #3.  Her latest look is brought to you courtesy of M.C. Hammer and his country crossover hit, “Please, Hammer, Don’t Let Your Baby Grow Up To Wear Fugly Flannel.”

However, those Louis Vuitton shoes are in a totally different category of crazy. Oh, Misha. It’s nice to see you go out and do that voodoo that you do so well.  We suspect she puts them on and prays everyday that the CW pilot for The Beautiful Life gets picked up so she can stop making up blog posts about her life. Hmmm, maybe we should get a pair of LVs and start praying for the same thing, too. Or better yet that she just fades into obscurity.

Get the look of this season’s tribal trend in these Sam Edelman “Malik” heels and walk on the wild side. Roooar!

Mischa Barton and Kim Cattrall walk the Hugo Boss Red Carpet

Stars in Berlin for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

What does Mischa Barton do for a living? We know what she did for a living, but since that fatal (albeit fictional) Orange County car crash, we’re really not quite sure how she spends her time between photo ops, event-hopping and DUI busts.

To stoke this mystery, she popped up on our radar in Berlin for the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and dazzled at the arrivals of the HUGO by Hugo Boss show. The Girl Formerly Known as Marissa struts her stuff for the photogs in, unsurprisingly, a little Hugo Boss number. See that smirk? That’s directed at those who criticized those unflattering bikini shots just weeks ago. To further make her point, she walked the runway in her belted Boss. She doesn’t just model Keds, folks.

To represent those of us who no longer pine for the days of man-boys named Seth and Ryan, Kim Cattrall also stopped by with Eva Padberg. Kim took a calculated risk in horizontal stripes, and made a statement worth emulating in her orange pumps. Bright is the new neutral. Whenever Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t show, Kim gets to play fashion icon. And at 51, she plays it well.

Take a note from Mischa and Kim and start planning your wardrobes for spring/summer ’09. Grab yourself a pair of black slingbacks, another pair of bright pumps, and stay tuned to ShoeMinx for your trend watch on all things footwear. You may not be a professional party-attendee like Barton, but there’s no reason you can’t walk like one.

If you need a place to start, you can’t go wrong with Gucci. Ever. Walk your own runway in these ‘Sunset’ platforms, and you’ll probably end up renaming them ‘Sunrise.’ Because with shoes like these, you’ll be dancing ‘til dawn. Shop for the best prices on Gucci here.
