Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities buy when they’re browsing their favorite boutique or shopping online late at night? Welcome to Six Picks, where we ask stars to spill their style and beauty must-haves — so you can shop like you’re famous, too.
When she’s not dodging terrifying fungal zombies as the magnetic Dina on “The Last of Us,” Isabela Merced is captivating fashion fans with her red carpet and street style looks. (During the Season 2 press tour for the HBO hit alone, she stepped out in styles from Versace, Chloé, Ashi Studio and even the Fendi archives.)
Page Six Style recently caught up with the Peruvian-American actress, who’ll next appear as Hawkgirl in July’s “Superman,” at the star-studded reopening of Longchamp’s SoHo flagship store in NYC. Below, Merced walks us through the essentials she always stows in her petite purse, whether she’s on set or out and about.
“I always say, the smaller the purse, the better — because I’m small myself! I like the little clasp, and I love the butter yellow moment that’s happening now. I’m trying to incorporate more colors into my wardrobe.”
“I usually have this with me, because my lips are always chapped! I like the Grapefruit flavor.”
“This floral water is supposed to cleanse your aura. It smells so refreshing.”
“It tingles! I’ll usually pair this with a tint, so you have both the moisture and the color.”
“You’ve gotta have a snack! I like Chomps — the jalapeño kind. I keep it spicy.”
“I like adding keychains and charms to my bags. This has my vitamins in it!”
