I think the appeal is two fold
first you have the draw for the teenage crowd: hot people in cute clothing having big drama in their life (basically just a soap opera for the 13-17 year old crowd).
secondly you have the appeal for everyone else: sarcasm.
The writers on the OC have done a great job of making the show appealing through mocking itself. the minute the show starts taking itself too serious it's ratings go down (see the whole oliver plot line for proof of this).
