True Whitaker is perhaps the perfect person to run into at a late-spring party in the Hollywood Hills. The breakout star of I Love LA grew up nearby and walks through the crowd (a mix of models, creators, and a few surprise celebrity guests) with the ease of a Los Angeles native. We’re here to fete H&M’s new Studio Resort collection—and this being LA, the conversation quickly turns to which beauty products actually work, which books we aren’t finishing, and which fashion trends we simply won’t give up.
Yes, the setting is shockingly similar to those in the beloved HBO comedy series, complete with a midcentury house and plenty of real-life influencers. But the gathering goes off without a hitch, and Whitaker, 27, is ready to spill on everything she’s currently obsessed with. Here’s what the actor is buying now, from hairbrushes to under-the-radar fragrances.

What does True Whitaker wear to a party in Beverly Hills? A shirt-slash-dress with a “Jane Birkin kind of vibe,” of course. “It’s a little orange minidress that ties in the front, so it really gives you the opportunity to style it how you want to,” she says. “I decided to leave the bottom tie open so I can show off a little silhouette, and show off my skirt and my belt. I paired it with these little black kitten heels, which are cute and pointy.”
