Mischa Barton's Sunny Style

Marissa Cooper is back in the house.

For one night, Miss Mischa Barton scrubbed off her usual sooty eyeliner and pinned her pretty, Anita Pallenberg-esque bangs to the side. At the Alicia Keys Keep a Child Alive Ball, she turned out in perfectly polished makeup (check out the ultra-precise eyeliner), sun-streaked, side-parted hair, and a big, genuine smile.

She looked amazing, and you could tell she felt it, too. I know The O.C. is over, but I think this Cali-girl look (that she's shied away from over the past year or so) really suits her in the end, don't you?

My all-time favorite beach wave maker is Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. It gives my straight hair some texture like Mischa's, without making it stiff or sticky.
