nyc metropolitan opera opera red carpet dress barton

Mischa Barton attended the Metropolitan Opera's opening night gala in NYC, and while she's looking great, what about that eyesore of a dress? Maybe it would have been better if it was solid black, but I swear, if you stare at it long enough, it becomes slightly less annoying. I love the cut and the sleeves, but those stripes just seem like a little too much at this hour of the morning...
