Is that the dress code? Audrina Patridge and Mischa Barton both wear white midriff baring outfits at charity gala

It's just what you don't want when attending a celebrity event - turning up in an almost identical outfit as another star, especially if one perhaps looks slightly better than the other.
But that's exactly what happened to Audrina Patridge and Mischa Barton on Thursday evening as they both arrived at the Fire & Ice Gala benefiting Fresh2o Water for life charity.
The pair looked uncannily similar at the Los Angeles party, both stepping out in daring white midriff baring cropped tops and skirts.

That must be the dress code: Audrina Patridge and Mischa Barton both arrive to a charity gala on Thursday evening dressed in similar white midriff baring outfits

But unfortunately for Mischa, hers looked slightly more frumpy than the petite version on Audrina.
Patridge, 27, took the opportunity to show off her super tanned skin with a minuscule bralet and high waisted skirt.
Happy to show off her curves, the TV star completed her look with gold neck chains and bright green strappy heels.

Confident: She only bought the outfit last week and couldn't wait to show it off at the bash on Thursday evening

She looked confident as she arrived posing for the cameras, wearing her hair in an up 'do to finish the look.
And it seems Audrina couldn't wait to show off her new outfit after buying it earlier in the week.
She posted a preview of the get-up, writing: 'Retail therapy.... Loving all the white for spring/summer!! #selfie lol.'

Strike a pose: The girls both got into the spirit of spring with the white ensembles baring their skin

Mischa, meanwhile, wore a very similar ensemble thanks to the white high-waisted skirt and cropped top, again both in white.
But the actress chose a sheer lace material with long sleeves over a white bra.
She completed her take on the outfit with pointy heels and a slick of red lipstick with her hair also in an up 'do.
The former The O.C. star appeared confident as she posed for pictures before going into support the charity gala.
