While Mischa Barton has been in the press for anything but her looks lately, she made a really cute change last week at the Sally Hershberg Salon in New York City. For so long, Mischa Barton was known for her gorgeous long blonde locks. It appears as if Sally Hershberg was able to talk her into something new and fresh. Perfect for Mischa considering the recent events in her life (and hopefully she has some really great insurance, such as disability insurance to back things up.)

I’m not completely crazy about her outfit, but I think it’s one of those pieces that could look really cute in person but not so great when photographed while walking down the street. What do you think of Mischa Barton’s new hair? What do you think of her outfit?
