Comfort over couture! Mischa Barton has a very casual fashion day as she enjoys a matinee movie by herself

Mischa Barton often fails to impress with her quirky fashion sense.
But the actress appeared to give up trying on Friday as she donned a casual ensemble and messy hairstyle.
The 27-year-old showed off her curves as she caught an afternoon matinee by herself at a small movie theatre in the upmarket neighbourhood of Calabasas, California, which serves as home to many Hollywood stars.

The O.C. alum smartly attired herself in figure hugging skinny jeans that skimmed her ankles as she sported grey socks and white lace-up sneakers.

 

Topping her easy going getup was a tan jumper that fit snugly over an embroidered blouse.

Completing casual effort was a pair of ornately framed sunglasses, a statement gold ring, and an elegant pendant on a thin gold chain.

As the actress waited to see her afternoon movie she chatted on her cellphone.
Mischa appeared to be engrossed in the telephone conversation as she alternated between stuffing her right hand in her jeans' pocket and leaning on a wrought iron railing just outside the theatre doors.

The actress, who is well known for her yo-yo dieting ways and fluctuating figure, was looking slim and confident in her clingy ensemble.
The relaxed showing follows a recent run-in with the police as law enforcement agents swarmed her home just a few weeks ago.
According to TMZ, the officers got the wrong address after receiving a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance, and the star opened the door to them.

The thriller is slated for release in 2014.
