Actress MISCHA BARTON has criticised VICTORIA BECKHAM's fashion sense - insisting her own style is much better.

The OC star has ridiculed Beckham's self proclaimed status as a style guru and believes Brits prefer her own hippy attire.

She says, "Posh doesn't strike me as particularly stylish.

"I don't think she's a good example of British style at all.

"I don't dress for anybody else, and I think the reason people like my style is that I do my own thing."
