Do Quantum of Solace’s Stana Katic and Mischa Barton look alike, or must we visit an eye doctor? It could be their pronounced jaws and cheekbones, but we think these two could’ve been separated at birth!

Backgrounds and Beginnings: Stana Katic and Mischa Barton

Fashion on the Red Carpet: Stana and Mischa’s Distinct Styles

Mischa recently became single and wore a gold Rubin & Chapelle dress to the New York premiere of her new Showtime series, Masters of Sex.

We think she was too much covered up in this outfit, with the long dress and the white sweater. Do you remember the days when she and Rachel Bilson were the “it girls” on and off “The O.C.”?

Since ‘The O.C.’ ended in 2007, Mischa Barton has largely stayed out of the public eye. Many look forward to her making a significant return, particularly in the fashion scene.

Stana Katic: Radiance on the Red Carpet

The statuesque Stana flaunted her legs at the CBGB premiere in Los Angeles in a bright pink Versace mini dress paired with Casadei pointy pumps.

She didn’t wear much jewelry for this look and relied on those carefully placed oversized pins for that oomph. We love her short, wavy locks and mile-long legs, too!
