Mischa Barton said she admires Aussie actress Cate Blanchett and loves the new hippie vibe in fashion, a Hong Kong magazine reports.

Barton told the magazine she doesn’t aspire to be like any other actress, “But I have plenty that I admire, and Cate Blanchett is one of them.”

She said she liked a new hippie-inspired fashion trend in Los Angeles.

“The idea of doing beautiful sun dresses and flat sandals and lots of layers of jewelry and accessories,” she reportedly said. “I am not big into the beachwear, sweat suit look. That is not really my vibe. What suits me is a little more rough around the edges.”
