Mischa Barton Side Boob On Display At Harper's Bazaar Event (PHOTOS, POLL)

Mischa Barton has undergone a bit of reputation rehab lately, making several red carpet appearances and launching a new fashion line with a spot on June Ambrose's new show, "Styled By June."

So how has new, improved Mischa been doing style-wise? It's up for debate. We were undecided on her sheer, polka dotted number at a March store opening; likewise this white cutout frock from Thursday's Women For Women International Gala in London, an event thrown in conjunction with swanky Harper's Bazaar.

On the one hand, the pleats are delicately flattering and the white makes Mischa glow. On the other hand: holy side boob!

We've asked it before and we'll ask it again: is this much side boob ever acceptable?

Quick Poll

Is Mischa flashing too much side boob?

TOTALLY! Way to ruin an otherwise sophisticated look.

NAH. It's just a sexy hint of skin.

She looks just as old if not older than LiLo. I'm not sure what happened to her OC sunkissed, youthful look, but she needs to find it...soon!

Wow. What happened to her? She looks like she's 15-20 years older than she is. I think the mess that happened to her face detracts from her side boob. Just say no to whatever she did to look like that.

She looks like she's old enough to be my mother and I'm old enough to be her father. YIKES!

NO KIDDING!!!!

I thought she was 40 by these photos...
I looked up when she was born... it was 1986...

WOW!!! I am 45, soon to be 46.. and I look MUCH younger than she does....

I wish I could hang with her.... she could make me look even younger... :-)

We guys need to have clothes designed so that part of out dicks could show. Then lets see how sexy the women feel that would be. Tuxedo with a touch of cellophane for formal evening wear.

Unless you are one of those disgusting Kardahiens or a cyrus you can never flash too much, side, top, bottom or front boob.

that dress looks so cheap, ugly and like she tied the middle around her too tight. Is she really only 26? Wow i would have said at least 40 and i'm not being funny.

[JustAGurlinSeattle]

07:11 PM on 05/06/2012

I thought the same thing...
she looks easily 40... WOW!!!!

I'm almost 46.... I am 20 years older than she is...
and, I look a LOT younger than she does..

Are you Americans totally daft. Your infantile, 1950s obsession with the human body and nudity is pathetic. Grow up. If you were a bit more attuned to what is happening in your own country and the world you might see that 1. The rest of the world has made it past puberty and into adulthood decades ago, and 2. There are far more important issues you might want to turn your attention to in America. Your astronomical debt, two senseless, corrupt, and inhumane wars, the loss of your civil an constitutional rights. Declining educational standards and facilities, mounting racism, sexism, and intolerance, well these will do for now.

Bravo!

well put jamesinraro, isn't this all just a bunch of mindless dribble? we should move to europe where open nudity is allowed and is so casual that it doesn't even phase anyone. someday Americans might embrace their bodies the way God made us. But not soon enough unfortunately. Don't forget those terrible wars where we had to come over and save all your asses too back in the early 1900s

HuffPo, your fashion articles - especially those on this theme - are patronising, demeaning, and objectifying. So is much of the 'fashion' world these 'celebrities' inhabit. Your pandering makes me respect your editorial judgement about women less and less.
