Unlikely Friends Alert: Mischa Barton and Kate Middleton's Brother James

Actress and younger sibling of Pippa and Kate hang out at boutique launch in London

Who knew?

At the launch of the boutique in Spitalfields, East London, that bears her name on Tuesday, Mischa Barton found herself in the company of none other than James Middleton.

Yes, that James Middleton—younger brother of Pippa and Kate.

While we're not quite sure how these two wound up as friends in the first place, they do make for a pretty pair nevertheless.

Not to mention, seeing how Middleton reportedly made good on his promise to bring cupcakes for the approximately 200 people in attendance, who could blame Mischa for inviting him, right?
