It looks as though she has gained a bit more weight since we last saw her. It seems noticeable in both her legs and face.
What do you all think?

WOAH!!! She def gained some weight!! It is noticable in her thighs and face. It does NOT look good on her!
I miss the old Mischa from the OC. Her body was perfection on that show!
Her lack of career is prob making her stressed and turning to food for comfort.
could just be the camera angles
It does looks that way, what a shame, poor Mischa. She’s so beautiful when she’s thinner. I’d love to see more pictures of her Pomeranian mix pup!
I don’t know if she’s gained weight, but I have say she looks much better now. The stick-thin looks doesn’t suit her (it doesn’t suit anyone). She looks much healthier weight-wise. Good for her! I just hope she won’t start losing weight again.
I don’t think she gained, her problem areas are her legs, imho, the jacket is cute, the dress, maybe but in the summer.
Hmmmm… I just don’t see her being able to book any jobs with the way she lets herself go like this. I predict her stardom will soon fade.
It seems to me like she just bloats up for some reason. Every time it happens, she looks thinner in no time. Then up again…I wonder if her and Linds ever party together.
I think the weightgain is positive for her. What makes her look a little average is her pale skin and somehow she looks very tired. Furthermore, she should stop smoking, it makes her look so unhealthy and sick. Put on a smile, girl, and your natural glow comes back!
She looked much better when she was thin. You can tell she is supposed to be naturally thin so this weight looks awful on her.
Yeah, she looks puffy when she gains, possibly from binge eating. She needs to start exercising. She’s not 17 anymore.
i dont think that she put up some weight.. but its also hardly to tell because you dont see it exactly!
she looks not too bad here..
good point about not 17 anymore. many girls are small at that age and then they grow up or ??? change their eating habits? and suddenly it all catches up.
It makes me laugh……these girls go to the obvious paparazzi places and look so disgruntled to have their pictures taken. Ladies, if you don’t want your piccy taken….stay home!!!!
Yes….she looks heavier.
this is probably far more natural for her weight wise. i dont think i want to comment on her at this point other than what’s already been said
Still looks the same. She’s more attractive thinner.
im not sure of her weight but i feel sorry for her!
Her face definitely looks fatter but I think it might have to do with the angle and the way her hair is…it makes her neck look bulkier, but we won’t know for sure unless we see it head on :\
Bet you a dollar it’s anitdepressants! They bloat you up very quickly and that is exactly how she looks. So, to those who say she isn’t taking care of herself, if it is because of meds, then she IS TAKING CARE OF HERSELF!
“antidepressants”
I don’t know if she’s gained. Pictures can lie. And she has been working out so it can make her thighs look bigger.
Still – I love her. I keep hoping she gets her life back on track and returns to her beautiful self.
I think she’s beautiful, and remains surprisingly true to herself despite all the little pitfalls along the way.
She has, however, encouraged me to scratch “opaque tights” off my winter shopping list.
she’s a yo-yo.
so her thighs are bigger OH MY GOSH THE WORLDS ABOUT TO END
I don’t really think she has gained much since the last time she was posted. She looks better than she did before she went to rehab which is a good thing.
I think it’s just angles and the outfit. The sheer leggings make her thighs look bigger than they are. Maybe her face is a little bloated, maybe it’s the lack of make-up. She looks healthy. I hope she’s doing well. I liked her as a spokesperson for Herbal Essences, she seemed nice and down to earth.
@Girl Butt: Opague tights are nice, even when you have bigger thighs, but these are just very sheer leggings. It’s probably a different texture.
Somehow she looks sad. I sometimes wonder why people like her don’t pack up and leave Hollywood. A regular life with a regular job isn’t necessarily a bad thing, especially if fame makes you this unhappy.
I think she look’s healthy! I was tired of seeing her look stick thin, she has some actual curves now. Why people think she looks better looking like skin and bones is a mystery to me…
I think she looks nice and her body is healthy. At least someone in Hollywood is not underweight.
Does anyone take into consideration that most of these girls start out in the spotlight as young teens and have not fully developed?!?! They are women so leave them alone, not everyone is a size 0! I think she looks fine! Same for Kelly Clarkson, let her be!! She looks fine!
Of course she’s gaining weight. That’s what you get when you’ve dieted unwisely for years. As soon as you start eating ‘normally’ again, your body packs on the pounds.
she’s like me, it all goes to the face and thighs
I think her face looks a bit heavier but legs look great – no weight gain noticeable there. She is a naturally lovely girl with great bone structure.
am afraid that something BAD will happen to her!!
she is always smoking,and she tryed to kill her self once!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has no ankles
The first picture she looks thin to me, I dunno if the other two are just the bad angles. I think she gets scrutinized too much for her fluctuations. Their so apparent on camera, God knows its probably just time of the month bloat.
Why is she still even relevant? Does she even make movies or do TV shoes anymore?
Anyway, I think she did gain weight. She’s a known yoyo dieter…weight is up and down all the time.
@Angie: Mischa is okay, but I think you are really stretching it when you say that Kelly Clarkson looks fine and that her weight gain is just development. She gained 50 pounds. After the age of 18. In under 6 months. Say whatever you want, but the girl is overweight and that’s not fine. It’s a horrible message to tell young girls that gaining 50 pounds in under 6 months is fine and being overweight is fine. Celebrities should be healthy and an ideal, not a mirror, especially the mirror of a country plagued by obesity.
@Lily might be right. This does look like it could be bloat from anti-depressant medication. That said, like a few others here, I think she actually looks way better this way than she did when she had lost all that weight. Much prettier.
Humm..it does appear that is that case…
If you dso a search, it is easy to find this item from 3 or 4 years ago:
London: The OC star Mischa Barton has taken a New Year’s resolution to quit smoking, in a bid to add some flesh to her super slender figure.
I guess she has always associated smoking and weight–in both directions. I think her normal monthly fluctuations—seems to be 6 or 7 pounds—cause a lot of comment. People on this site worry more about her weight than she does.
yup, she officially gained!
well, who DIDN’T expect this to happen? but if she’s finally off drugs, then she should not be judged for gaining weight. better curvy than drug addict:-))
@ Lily there are different sorts of antidepressants and they don’t all make you bloat up, some of them actually have the opposite effect. I think the way her body is now is just it’s natural state when she’s not starving or working out crazy. Her legs have always been bigger, even when she was thinner.
And her lack of employment probably has less to do with her weight and more with her lack of talent.
oh noooo…. gained for sure
She is so pretty thin! I think she isn’t toned. If she hit the gym, she would look just fine at this weight. You can see in her face that its all bloat and no muscle.
My heart breaks for her. Her show got cancelled, she has serious mental issues (depression, substance abuse). This site is kinder, but other sites like perez are so mean. Right now i dont think its important how she looks, its that she gets better and is in a better place emotionally
she looks horrible, she used to be pretty but now she looks too fat in the face and legs.
just because she gained some weight does NOT necessarily mean that she is taking care of herself or getting healthier. she may be eating unhealthfully, not working out, b/p-ing, munchies….
Meh. She could be 800kg & I’d still love her & think she is beautiful.
Marissa Cooper has won me forever.
I love that she is not a celebrity clone.
Whyyyy Mischa, why????
She was looking so good lately…
@ shey: I’m not about to argue on behalf of heavy women–I think the weight gain on Clarkson is really bad, but it’s super obvious that she wasn’t meant to be skinny. Same with Mischa. While the quick weight gain is troubling, it’s not surprising…they were obviously doing something above and beyond to remain as thin as they were.
horrible outfit!
wow-she fluctuates a lot-i remember a few months ago she looked not even healthy but anorexic..now she looks a little overweight-not terrible but could lose maybe 10 lbs..imo
looks to have gained. her face and neck look a little plumper. the outfit is doing her no favors.
Yes, she is bigger (again).
Question: anyone interested in her? I’m not at all.
@Shey- I agree with you that Kelly C is overweight and it’s not healthy to gain that much weight that quickly. I just think she needs to tone up and she would look better. I would be curious to see how she looks in person vs. just pics online. As long as people are healthy weight is just a number.
she looks better in this weight than she did when she had lost the weight.
@ carrie…agree w/you …saw earlier pics (like 10 months back) of Mischa & she looked anorexic ! She was looking “fuller / more bloated” when she was hospitalized back in July…and then she came to NYC and her show got cancelled after 2 episodes. I think that she is probably partying (alcohol) way too much & NOT really into any type of exercise routine as yet. She has fluctuated with her weight (previosuly) b/c of her excessive drinking.
Well, she’s still a pretty girl at this weight but she’s beautiful when she’s thin. I feel so sorry for her.
lol i remember reading in an Allure article/interview how she mentioned that she just “eats and eats” but doesn’t gain any weight….yeah, obviously not an issue anymore! :S hope u get a job soon, kid!
I think she has a problem, pretty much like Lindsay. Although Linds managed to look good IMHO. Didn’t her show get a second chance, and isn’t she supposed to play a model ?
I think her mom is a larger woman….so it must be genetically hard for her to maintain a lower weight since she usually only does so for a period of time and than gains it back.
i definitely feel for this girl….her weight been fluctuating so much…but i don’t think shes “naturally” chubby maybe just the stress and…unemployed???? poor kid
