What’s the opposite of gatekeeping? Welcome to “Payment Processing,“ in which we ask stylish, generally cool people who’ve tried it all about their favorite fashion and beauty buys.

As an actor, entrepreneur and longtime fixture of the Los Angeles fashion scene, Cara Santana Leto has cultivated a personal style that reflects her multifaceted career. (Seriously, the girl does it all.) She’s been acting since she was a teenager, made her directorial debut in 2014 and launched a “beauty” brand for dogs, Lil Luv Dog, with co-founder Stephanie Suganami last year. And that’s just the beginning.

Santana Leto knows a thing or two about putting together a great look, so it made sense that she teamed up with Los Angeles-based ASTR the Label to host an intimate Friendsgiving dinner in Beverly Hills, Calif. this month. Fashionista caught up with her to chat all things shopping, from her fall fashion must-haves to her beauty favorites and the designer coat she can’t stop thinking about.

What’s a luxury beauty item you’re obsessed with right now?

I’m a Nécessaire unfragranced girlie, so I’m obsessed with their unfragranced shampoo and conditioner, and their unfragranced body wash.

What’s a drugstore beauty item you love?

A drugstore must-have for me is Aquaphor because you can use it on your lips, you can use it on your cuticles; it’s great during cold weather. I use it on my hands. I put it on my face. I love an Aquaphor moment.

What’s a luxury fashion item you’re eyeing right now?

The fashion luxury item that I am obsessing over, that I have spent more time than I can count scrolling, is the Conner Ives silk embroidered coat with that faux-fur sleeve and collar. I’m absolutely obsessed and I’m trying to find a dupe because I cannot find the Conner Ives and it’s so good.

What shoes do you want to buy right now?

There is this amazing Khaite brown moccasin that’s sold out in a size 6.

What’s a fall-fashion must-have you swear by?

I love ASTR the Label’s roll-neck sweater. They’re so popular, so chic. You can wear them with anything, dress them up, dress them down.

What’s the last product an influencer or celeb inspired you to buy?

I am a TikTok Shop person….I got the Gap x Hailey Bieber denim that just got restocked. I was influenced by Hailey and someone was wearing them on TikTok Shop. I bought them, and they’re getting delivered sometime in the next three days.

What’s a gift you get a friend who has everything?

A gift that you get your friend who literally has everything is the Lil Luv Dog dry shampoo. It’s the first EWG-verified, clean beauty product for dogs so if you’re [shopping for] a beauty or a fashion girl who has everything, shop for them by shopping for their dog.
