It looks like she has possibly gained a little more weight? What do you all think?
Tags: candids, Mischa Barton, weight gain
She looked great 6 months ago when she was working to lose the weight (and being called “scary skinny” when she was no where close). Too bad, she’s was such a pretty girl when she was thinner.
She should really cover her legs up at all times.
I think she looks good. She seems so vulnerable, I feel bad for even commenting on her weight.
Why does she insist on wearing outfits that she is too big for?
Plus, did she coordinate outfits with her friends or something? They’re all wearing practically the same thing except in different colors.
i dont think she knows how to dress for her body type.
She should cover her legs, they aren’t attractive at all. Instead she calls attention to them.
Wow she really yo-yos a lot. She was soooo thin when she started out on the O.C.!
At least she gains weight on the leg/thigh area. Its so much more flattering to have extra weigh there, rather than the stomach/love handles. Honestly, the girl is still cute.
This is really sad, she used to be SOOO thin. I think she has a bad relationship with food. she comfort eats a lot.
She has such an unfortunate shape. And extra fat does NOT help her face. She’s probably much healthier now though.
finally she looks so nice! her face is gorgeous, and her cloth are stylish. By the way, imagine Mischa in JEANS…she would be a lot uglier.
Sad, sad story…What happened? Did she just give up & start pigging out?
Her weight is scary. Suddenly shes thin and suddenly shes fat. omg
Pretty necklace!
She looks okay. I think she needs to learn what clothes suit her body type because short shorts definitely don’t!
i like her bettr skinnyskinnnnyskinny. i feel like she needs help
the only thing I don’t get is why she wears the most unflattering clothing. There are very few people who can pull off those one piece short outfits. Most people look very silly in them—same with high-waisted anything. Other than that, she looks pretty and healthier. Nice hair color.
Terrible legs
she probably has eating problems given how skinny she used to be and how… not she is now. i think this weight is too high for her, it doesn’t look natural – she looks bloated. her legs have no definition to them, she clearly doesn’t work out.
as for her clothes… she consistently looks like she just rolled out of a reject hipster’s closet circa 2007. hire a stylist and a trainer.
She comes from an extremely wealthy family I doubt she cares what any one thinks but…
those jazz shoes make almost everyone’s legs look bad plus the outfit is bad except for the leather jacket and handbag.
Her face is still lovely, but below the neck it’s just gone to pieces. She’s dressing the best she can but I’m sure it’s troublesome for her, she’s gained quite a bit of weight. Well…sympathy…we’ll all had our moment of looking poorly. She’s in that moment. Question is, will she ever re-obtain her O.C. figure???
I agree with Mer & Christina she needs to work out, stop wearing unflattering clothes, especially short skirts.
Wow, cameras suck! She really doesn’t look that bad (not stunning, but more like the rest of us mortals), but that first picture is just down-right mean!
Time to get that body in shape.
I feel bad for her. She seems to be struggling with her career and all the criticism about her body surely doesn’t help. I wish she would take care of herself more, she seems like a heavy smoker and that’s not gonna do her any favors.
Her legs look huge! The extra weight does not flatter her :/ Her hair looks pretty, but that is it!
She looks the best in her OC days…
She’s always going to such extremes. But oh well, as long as she’s happy.
She needs a stylist ASAP! She looks disheveled. Clearly her weight fluctuates- she needs clothes that flatter her especially when her weight is up. Plus needs to take care of herself.
If she learned to start wearing high waisted a-line skirts that reach her knee, she’d look a lot better. But nooooo.
No it doesn’t seem like it….she just doesn’t have any idea of what to wear. Floral short jump suit? Geez, girl…..everyone looks dumpy in that. Wear a pencil skirt and jersey cami or something.
I feel bad for her, too. Her weight fluctuations make it all the more apparent she’s having a hard time with things in her life. I don’t think her body can take this gaining and losing routine anymore.
i dont understand, i always thought she was one of those naturally really thin people, and then she gained a lot of weight all of a sudden and now she keeps going up and down
i can’t believe that this is the same girl who was SOOO thin on the OC. talk about letting yourself go.
She doesn’t have a hot Hollywood bod anymore, but that’s no crime! However, the clothes, the CLOTHES. Would it kill her to run around town in a pair of flattering jeans and a cute top? They make nice clothes for people size 8 and up, you know!
She seems to have problems. Its not normal to gain and lose like 30-40 pounds over and over again. I wish she’d dress more appropriately for her body though. I feel bad for her, so I am not gonna say anything mean… this time;)
she does not look good at all here… i think she really must have an eating disorder because in your post before this she did look okay but in the post before that one she looked horrible. and she is constantly shifting like that. and really the only explanation for such drastic weight fluctuations in such short periods of time is an eating disorder
She’s a hipster and will continue to dress like one. I think it works so shoot me. But I get her I’m unemployed too and it can be a dark place and you’ll do almost anything to feel happy and to get a sense of worth. I’m sure once she gets it together all the other stuff will fall into place.
WHOA ladies calm down on the negative comments.
Mischa is on anti-depressants, mood stabilizers which cause significant weight gain. Regardless of excercise & healthy eating.
I’m sure she would rather be mentally stable and have a few extra kg’s (lbs).
She’s beautiful & will always be one of my favourites.
I also have big legs, and i would NEVER EVER wear such small shoes, it looks like she has tiny feet and huge legs!!! big mistake, proportions can really make a difference.
Isn’t she a tad young too have gone downhill so quickly.
those legs. poor dear.
kinda feel bad commenting about the obvious weight gain…as an above post mentioned, she does seem vulnerable. She’s not “fat”, but man does she ever need someone to tell her what NOT to wear for gosh sakes. She could look good but looking at her outfit, shoes and all, it’s gotta be drugs cuz no one in their right mind would go out in public and think that get-up looks good.
love the woman on the phone -3rd picture…
Although Misha Barton isn’t my favorite person ever, especially to defend, it’s got to be said that she isn’t fat, not by a long shot. She has a true pear shape; all her weight is in her legs. Yeah, the gym wouldn’t hurt her, but a new wardrobe would do wonders for her figure and then have everyone here wondering how she lost the “weight” so quickly. I still think she’s a very pretty girl, she’s just in desperate need of a stylist.
Eah she gained and I like legs of her friend on the left.
Is it just me or does she look FINE. Not great, but fine.
And her clothes aren’t unflattering, her weight is unflattering. If anything, black tights are the only thing that have a true thinning effect. And to confirm it, the girl next to her, looks great, with the exact same outfit. People here act like if she wore the right kind of clothes she wouldn’t have thick legs anymore…ya rite. There’s just so much camouflage you can do.
But Sheeesh, people are pitying her so much you’d think she has end stage cancer. A sense of proportion please!
arghhh, come on people. she looks like a normal woman now, stop being so mean.
I am at a point where I really don’t care about her weight/ legs/ outfit as long as she looks somehow healthy. She does here. So forget about her formerly skinny and prettier legs, as long as we won’t have to hear that she’s back in rehab again… poor girl.
She just resembles your average, regular person now. I think it’s sad that so much emphasis is put on her weight and so many compare it to her OC weight. When she was in the OC she was still in her teens and growing. When she got really skinny a few months ago it looked so forced and unnatural. Perhaps this is closer to the weight she should be now that she is an adult?
She could do with a stylist to show her how to dress for this size instead of continuing to dress for her smaller size. If she dressed to suit her figure I think she would look a lot better.
poor thing. Her weight fluctuates liek crazy. She looks huge here, especially her legs. She looks horrible, not pretty at all. I hope she gets help
Her legs are and will always be her problem area. It doesn’t matter how much she works out and tones, she will always be bottom heavy. BUT that doesn’t mean she can’t look good at her weight. She just needs to learn how to dress herself. She can’t keep wearing tights/leggings/skinny jeans, she needs to wear things that draw attention to her other parts (thinner arms and torso). Until then, she’s just doing this to herself.
I feel sorry for her, with her weight fluctuating like every other day.
Hopefully she’ll get through it soon enough. I hope the best for her.
I feel sorry for her, her body type is pair shape, that is the way she is naturally built. For people with that particular body type, it is almost impossible to not have a bit of weight around the thigh area, and most of the times I think it looks feminine. Obviously there is a lot of pressure on her to look stick thin, which isn’t something that can be maintained, and voila the weight fluctuates all the time. It would be great if she could stay at her natural healthy weight, exercise and eat a balanced diet and that that could be good enough for her, the media and everyone else.
why is everyone so mean.. yeah she gained but I think she´s still pretty. She probably has eating problems
I don’t know that her weight is healthy/normal here. It looks she has made her pear shaped figure more susceptible to unhealthy weight gain through years of yo-yo dieting and possibly drug use. i think a healthy weight 4 her is lower than this…not the same as her O.C. days,just slimmer then she looks in recent pics.
Fluffy face, average girl.
I would feel sory for her if I didnt know what a simple person she is. Saw her giving interviews and she has quite an attitude. Not someone I like.
ok honestly. this outfit doesn’t suit her at all. it’s just bad for her. I wonder how she managed to stay SOOOOOOOOO thin on the oc. she always told everybody “I just don’t gain weight” well, now we have proof she does.
i find her so unattractive. shes got a square shaped body and her thighs are unbelievable!! if i had legs like that i’d be covering them up at all times!
she looks good.
perhaps she’s binging. she can’t possibly gain weight this fast. in any case, the legs of the girl on the left in the 3rd pic looks odd! it’s like her calves are as wide as her thigh. lol. but in the last pic, her legs look normal. think it’s the angle
edie s.- She was like 16 when she started on the show, so that’s why she didn’t gain weight. Remember those days?
I don’t think she’s gained a terrible amount, she just doesn’t wear clothes that flatter her shape for photographs. When you’re getting photographed you need to be mindful of the silhouette. That is unless you’re skeletal like Rachel Zoe, hence her being able to drape layers.
She’s such a pretty girl, I really hope she does well.
you guys are so mean! yes shes fat. FAT. i agree, but jesus she looks better (and skinnier) than most americans. so no she doesnt have to cover her legs up! maybe just not wear floral shorts, i can imaging that she looks like a barn house from behind!
she is still a pretty girl to me (although I agree she should drop a few pounds), her face is very nice and it’s good to see that she’s gotten herlsef together (I am talking about her past ‘dirty and untidy’ looks) but her legs and ankles are really thick! That certainly doesn’t look good.
I think she’s hot! In saying that, she’s a pretty tall girl so she’d have to be carrying a fair bit of weight for it to be this noticeable. She could stand to lose 10lbs, but she looks good anyway.
Her face looks beautiful.
I don’t think “it’s that bad”. Her weight seems healthy, I wouldn’t immediately jump to blame yo-yo dieting for the gain; she just grew up, happens to the best of us
I agree that she chooses pretty damn unflattering outfits but you always look worse caught on camera. I’m almost positive she looks fine in the mirror.
Again, she has the prettiest face. I feel so sorry for her,the way everyone is judging her.
ok maybe she gained a bit weight,but i think she still looks great!(she looks better than a few posts in the last 2 months,or more!
Yeah I agree, I really can’t comment, I would feel absolutely heartless… I don’t know why, but to me she looks so depressed, and a little Elusive… I hope she’s okay.
I was sure she was gonna gain the weight back. I mean she lost it so quickly. What did she think? she was going to manage to not eat for the rest of her life? I never understand why don’t they lose weight gradually and healthy instead of losing it in like 1 month and then gain all the weight back. it’s so bad for your health this yo-yo thing.
her face look really really beautiful. those shoes are just like socks tho – they gotta go!
I think she looks great.She has a helthy weight now.
She looks awful. What is up with her why does she keep losing and then gaining?
It’s a shame the weightgain has such an awful effect on her otherwise beautiful face. She can be so gorgeous when she wants to.. I still remember how pretty she was in “Once and Again” when she was younger.
WOW. That is all.
As someone who runs or walks several times a week, does pilates, eats healthy, and is tall and thin everywhere else…I have legs like these, too. Sometimes, there just isn’t much you can do to battle genetics. It makes me feel so bad for her, b/c she gets criticized for them, and I honestly do not believe there is much she can do but maybe change to a healthier lifestyle and do some pilates, sleep more, lay off the substances, etc.
However, when you have a body type like this, you have to know how to dress it! Wider-leg pants, heels, dark tones on the bottom, good jewelry, and cute tops to play up your smaller half are a MUST!! Oh, if only I could take this poor girl shopping.
Please don’t hate on her legs. It kills people like us that we don’t have the skinny legs that are so cute and free of cellulite. If you looked at my mother or my grandmother, you’d understand – I was doomed from the start (LOL)!
Her weight is like any normal woman it goes up and down. She just choses to wear the WORST outfits which make her look heavier than she is.
It’s all about the angle of photos!
She looked like she has lost weight in Cristian Lay Collection show.
She has gained, not sure what is going on with her (I haven’t kept up) but I really feel sorry for her…seems like something is off with her. Maybe not, who knows, just my first impression. Makes me sad.
Carrot-shaped legs…..big carrots!
She´s just like a very normal pretty girl, there´s nothing wrong with that if you´re an actress,, not skinny but not chunky at all
I’ve noticed she wears flats fairly frequently. I think she would benefit by taking a hint from Posh and wearing heels more often, they would help her legs not look so… heavy.
Wow, she’s looking good these days! Healthy and beautiful. Keep this up, girl! I can’t see what’s the fuss about her present weight – she looks so much better with this weight than the scary skinny emaciated look some time ago. And the way she dresses herself is something you don’t see every day, and that’s why I like it.
ANTIDEPRESSANT bloat!!! Guarantee it.
I think she’s breathtaking,her weight doesn’t change that!
i feel bad for her, she seems like she tries to dress pretty and all look in the 3 pictures shes suckin her cheeks in. it must be hard have 2394375937458 persons sayin your legs are fat. yeh she was super skinny on the oc but now we can tell she wanst naturally thin, she was starving and all that. i agree she should loose some weight but is not like she looks like a moster or anything and lets face it does pictures show only her bad angle.
The girl is a classic pear. I’d much rather be a pear and have fuller legs than be an apple w/ a f-at back and blubbery stomach.
Still, she’d look much better minus 10 pounds.
@Lily –I think you might be right. I really don’t know this girl too well, but I think she’s beautiful, and there’s nothing wrong with her body. Those shoes would make the legs of 99% of the population look bad.
I think Mischa is a very pretty girl who dresses like she wants and not like everyone else wants her to dress. Still, if my legs were like hers I would avoid anything that draws the attention to them.
She would look 100 times better if she chose to cover up her legs (no, thights don’t count). I mean, she’s a totally normal person with a totally average body, so if the average woman can find halfway flattering things to wear, so can she.
I dont know..i feel like shes too busy enjoying her life to care about her what the public thinks. It sucks because of the comparison between her then and now..but if she’s happy and dressing the way she wants, its way better than Heidi Montag who’s killing herself to be “perfect”.
She looks really swollen. Her weight gain always shows in her face. That outfit does nothing for her.
They say black is slimming…well, it’s not doing her any favors in these pictures
lol..why in the world does she always wear things that fall right there on her legs? It has to be the most unattractive fit for her shape. Ugh.
She definately looks like she’s gained. It’s very obvious in her face.
This girl was the “it” girl for a while – on top of the world. Now, she looks like a hot mess. Lohan city, here she comes.
she has what i call ‘teddy bear’ legs — they have no definition, straight up and down. very unfortunate.
she dresses as if she’s a size 0/2, which is probably how she still see’s herself. she should learn to dress to flatter her bigger body. and she could start by buying larger sizes! those tiny, tight outfits only accentuate her bulk.
THOSE THIGHS!
As so many have said, it’s mainly the clothes she wears that draw attention to her bigger legs. She’s fairly slim otherwise and still prettier than most other starlets.
And maybe she should avoid being photographed next to people who have very skinny legs, like her friend who practically wears the same outfit she does.
Anyone that calls Mischa Barton fat has their own issues. She has an average-sized body and a pretty face and people constantly criticising her legs and saying negative things about her size should ask themselves what kind of person they are because I think it’s cruel and unnecessary to say things like that. Comment on celebrities’ weight but don’t be nasty.
Some people look better with a little extra weight, like Hillary Duff. I hate to say it, but Misha looks like she’s meant to be thinner. So unfair to compare her to her teenage self, but she looks “off” bigger.
I like her with darker hair. She has a beautiful face. I don’t know if it’s the camera angle or what, but her legs do look big. Her face is chubbier too. Hopefully she is getting her life together.
She is so obviously struggling with her health….
I wish her the best.
She has such a pretty face. She just wears clothes that don’t flatter her much. She might have gained a few but it’s hard to tell with that outfit.
anyone else thinks that she got liposuction on her face?
it looks too thin for her weight…remember the pictures of her a few months ago, when she was about the same weight and had this huge hamster face?
Good lord. Why does she insist on wearing hideously unflattering outfits when she has legs like that?!
i love how she and her friends have matching outfits, lol. seriously tho, this girl needs to get it together… she used to be so hot and healthy-looking… this is just not good
terrible outfit
Honestly, her weight fluctuations are giving me whiplash.
This outfit really doesn’t help.
She looks so much better at a lower weight. She has really let herself go and I dont understand why – she used to be really pretty. I think she’s consious about her height tho – she’s always in super flats and hunching over… :S
The girl beside her looks better in that (similar) outit. Mischa has a beautiful face though, and I would never say she is too big. Far from it.
Her legs look normal when she is thin. However, whenever she gains weight the fat distributes oddly on her legs and gives them a very unattractive shape. That would keep me VERY motivated to stay in shape if I were her. Her legs take on a very weird shape when she gains and she doesn’t seem to clue in to that given her outfits.
looks very wide in the thighs and legs, but could be yet another unflattering oufit
People, let’s not forget that she was SEVENTEEN when the OC started. She’s 24 now. You cannot compare a teenager to a woman in her mid 20s. Stop acting like you know everything about her, she can wear whatever she wants. How do you know other people don’t find YOUR style of clothes repulsive on your body?
I always thought she looks like my mum face-wise. In the second picture of these, expecially…
Her legs are her only problem area in my opinion, and she always insists on showing them off. Why?
Pretty crazy some of the hatred shown here because a girl has gained weight. What exactly is it that bothers some of you so much? If Mischa Barton is comfortable enough to go out dressing how she wants, why does it cause you to call her disgusting, sad, a failure, etc? What is wrong with girls and women today that they have to tear someone down because she has gained weight? I guarantee you that a lot of you will gain weight someday despite your best efforts. I guess you’ll probably hate yourself for that as much as you hate Mischa Barton for it, huh? Now THAT is sad. What a way to live.
I admit, I think she looks large here but thats only because she is a celebrity. In reality, she looks like a normal girl and people wouldn’t be commenting on her weight (probably still those legging/tight things though
)
I don’t think she looks healthy at all. Most likely, she’s at the high end of her weight range. So maybe she isn’t f *t, but it’s the bloating and the fact that her weight goes up and down that makes me wonder about her health. It’s normal for a woman’s weight to fluctuate a little, but her’s seems to be too much.
If she knew how to dress her body, she would look so much better.
It seems only extremely skinny women would look good in the outfit she is wearing. I just think she doesn’t dress to work well with her frame.
phew…this makes me SOOO thankful I am not a pear shape
i read in a magazine that was back from like 2007 she said in quotes that she was lucky with good genes because her mom is really thin and they used to feed her a lot to fatten her mother up but it never worked. and i think i remember reading that Mischa liked her legs or that she had good legs. well anyways im glad it seems like shes at least healthy now
She has a very pretty face. Who cares if she’s not skinny.
wow i used to think she wo gorgeous wot the hell happened! her thighs look really big! she luks a mess really. i feel sorry for her!
x
Why would someone who is so bottom heavy ever willing wear that outfit? Why why!?!?! Awful all the way around.
@ Cossey LOL frickin’ hilarious with the carrot legs
She looks like a normal person, a beautiful, normal person – I wish people would leave her alone. Maybe people thought she looked better when she was starving, taking drugs, or whatever she was doing to look super thin, but attacking her for not being thin is so mean spirited. I realize that visiting a site devoted to skinny celebs makes me part of the problem, but I think a young lady who is at least rumored to have sought mental health treatment in part due to her weight issues should be off limits. Just my cheap 2 cents…
Don´t be so mean with her.
She´s beautiful not skinny anymore but still really pretty
Her fashion its what really sucks
She looks pretty to me! She’s not as skinny as she was on the OC, but she’s also a lot older than she was back then. Compare pics of your high school friends before and after college. Most of them (even the ones who were super skinny in high school) probably gained a few pounds.
Lauren, I’m guessing your comment is meant to be a joke, but it is seriously not funny!
I don’t think she is fat at all. I don’t think there is anything wrong with her legs. I think the photo is unflattering and if we were to see her in real life she would appear tall and thin like she is.
Her friend on the left has legs like a 12 year old boy.
she is fine.
can we get some shawn johnson posts?
Gorgeous face, Creepy doll, you must have a beautiful Mom!! I hope Mischa is able to balance out her issues, she’s lovely looking but the yo-yoing is unhealthy and she is IMO prettier when slimmer.
:-> oh my she WAS so adoraable!
OMG SHE HAS GAINED A LOT!!
i like her shoes! but this playsuit and flat shoes are really unflattering, her legs look quite bad
She looks fine! Shes a gorgeous girl. She has a certain body type! Seriously how about everybody on this website post pictures of themselves and we can talk about how fat everybodys legs are? Would you like that?
I feel like her weight hasn’t really fluctuated much in the past months, but it’s just a matter of whether or not she’s photographed in an outfit that’s unflattering to her legs (which makes us perceive the rest of her body as have adjusted accordingly as well)… Although she does seem to have quite a tendency to wear very unflattering outfits….
seriously people! She is nowhere near gross, nowhere near overweight! I think she looks gorgeous! With the size zero trend, everyone’s perception is just completely warped.. What a shame!
Yikes…….
