Mischa Barton thinks Londoners work "really hard" at looking good.

The British/American actress - who currently resides in Paris - admits she finds London a bit "intense" when it comes to fashion, but also finds Los Angeles to be too laid back as she stands out a lot.

She said: "London's a little intense for me. I see lots of people desperate to express themselves through their clothes, but it's so obvious that they're working really hard at it. In Los Angeles you stand out in a leather jacket and jeans. "

It's not only cities Mischa refuses to get dressed up for - she would also not wear a particular outfit just to please a man.

She added to more! magazine: "I never dress up for boys, I always dress for myself. My confidence levels changes massively depending on how good I look, so if I want to feel great I'll put on something I really like. I often feel uncomfortable wearing anything too girly."
