Washington, Apr 27 : Former `O. C.' star Mischa Barton is all set to return to TV. She would be seen in a new fashion-based show alongside Ashton Kutcher.

The 23-year-old star had bid adieu to the teen drama in 2006 to pursue a movie career.

But now, Barton is getting back to her roots on the small screen in `A Beautiful Life' - a satire based on the fashion industry.

In the series, Mischa plays a New York-based model in the pilot episode, which also features a cameo appearance from supermodel Elle MACpherson.

"It''s a really great show. It''s like the O. C. but times 10. Everyone is dressed in the latest Versace and MCQueen. Zac Posen has a fashion show in the first episode and plays himself," Contactmusic quoted Barton as saying.

She added: "It''s a younger version of Sex and the City. I play a super bitchy model in New York. If the pilot does well I will be spending a lot more time in New York."

And the actress has confessed that she loved the clothes so much, that she took most of them home with her.

"I bought most of my wardrobe," she said. (ANI)
