Mischa Barton has put a cat among pigeons by criticising the dress sense of British style queen Victoria Beckham.

The 22-year-old actress and serial party attendee slammed British tabloid-favourite Posh when speaking to The Sun, who said Beckham was "lauded as a global fashion icon".

"Posh doesn't strike me as particularly stylish," Barton said.

"I don't think she's a good example of British style at all."

Barton, who burst onto the scene as a fresh-faced teenager in the TV show The OC, said she did not dress for anybody else.

"I think the reason people like my style is that I do my own thing," she said.

The Sun went on the attack in the article, saying Barton was "usually pictured in disgusting get-ups falling out of clubs and her tops", in reference to her latest wardrobe malfunction when one of her breasts popped out of her dress when disembarking from a taxi.

The paper is also running a poll asking who readers think is most stylish, with Posh currently leading 68 percent to Barton's 32 percent.

I think Barton is slightly confused about people liking her style.



Edit: Just fixed your pictures too Amy :)

thanks Allan :)

Agreed. Mischa dressed well when her stylist has a hand in her ensembles, but when left to her own devices her fashion sense usually leaves something to be desired. She also has a chronic camel-toe problem. Posh, on the other hand, is much more consistent. My only criticism would be that 6 inch stilettos should not be worn to supermarkets.

Mischa can be a great clothes horse, but suggesting that she somehow is a style icon which shines brighter than Victoria Beckham? Please.

Personally i think Mischa left to her own devices is tragic in the style stakes, a mismatched mistake.
I adore Victoria Beckham and think she always looks so polished, perhaps too polished at times but i love her :)
