Mischa Barton Braless heads for new TV show

Since leaving the care of a psychiatric until for alleged drug problems actress Mischa Barton, 23, has thrown herself back into her work.

But maybe she's in a bit too much of a hurry, as the busy actress was seen hurrying along a New York street in a black vest without her bra.

Mischa dashed to work on the set of The Beautiful Life clutching an iced fruit drink.

Busy: Mischa Barton arrived on set for the filming of show The Beautiful Life in New York in a bit of a rush, and seemed to forget her bra

But her sheer T-shirt revealed a distinct lack of undergarment, and left very little to the imagination.

Mischa plays a drug addict model in the show, and yesterday filmed scenes where she looked back to her glamorous best.

The OC star was all smiles and looked much healthier than she did a few weeks ago when she appeared bloated at the launch of Harrods summer sale.

But although she Mischa appears to be back to a clean bill of health, friends of the star, who has been seen this week filming scenes for the show created by actor Ashton Kutcher, have ­accused her of not taking her rehabilitation seriously.

Kutcher and his wife Demi Moore visited leading lady Mischa on set. The couple then headed off for lunch together at a Manhattan restaurant where they were in good spirits.

Last month Mischa was placed under ­involuntary psychiatric care at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles. But days after her release she was seen partying in New York.

A source told Heat magazine: 'The fact she was out right away proves she’s not taking things seriously enough. It was like a big ‘f*** you’. She’s too proud and ­independent sometimes.'

While friend, Suzanne Coppin, said: 'I’m disappointed she’s not taking advice and doing her own thing.'
