Mischa Barton Launches The World's Most Expensive IPhone Accessory In Two Boho Maxi Dresses

Get updates from Ellen Stewart:

Who? Mischa Barton

What? Former OC actress looked East for style-spiration last night as she launched the world's most expensive mobile accessories for the iPhone5. Mischa had heads turning as she donned two boho-style dresses at the exclusive launch.

First off she slipped into a long-sleeved mint green gown complete with intricate embroidery. Teaming the look with a hippy-tastic jewelled headband and nude snakeskin heels, Mischa looked more earth mother than swanky phone accessory entrepreneur.

Where? Kensington Roof Gardens, London
