✨ Fashion Insights & Trends:
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.
Although "The Vampire Diaries" ended nearly 10 years ago, the show has maintained a powerful relevance in pop culture to this day. (Fan edits of scenes from the show continue to receive millions of views on TikTok.) This is also true of the show's protagonist, Elena Gilbert, played by Nina Dobrev.
The actor has held onto her "It" girl status from the 2010s, preserving a strong fanbase of over 26.9 million social media followers, thanks to plenty of nostalgic content, recent tongue-in-cheek shade towards a certain ex and consistent stylish appearances at high-profile, fashion-forward events. Most recently, she's attended the CFDA Fashion Awards wearing Carolina Herrera, sat front row at Miu Miu's Spring 2026 show in Paris and served as a host committee member at the New York City Ballet 2025 Spring Gala wearing Nardos.

Dobrev's latest endeavor isn't with a fashion brand, but instead a fashion-adjacent beverage brand, Aperol, in a campaign to showcase the cocktail ingredient's relevance beyond the summer season and into the colder months.
Speaking of, with plenty more events to go heading into the holidays, we asked the star to share the go-to items in her getting-ready routine. Below, discover (and shop!) the products her friends Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner have inspired her to purchase, the drugstore beauty favorite she can't live without and the luxury New York-friendly boots she's eyeing for her next splurge.

What's a luxury beauty item you're into?
Hanacure has this incredible P7Pro face lotion that I've not only been wearing every morning and night, but I also always apply it when I get on a flight. It's so moisturizing, it's so silky and it goes under makeup beautifully.
How about a drugstore beauty item?
I'm obsessed with these Lumify eye drops. It's got a little purple cap and I have it in my purse at all times and I've run out. I'm freaking out a little bit about it.
What's a beauty staple you love so much you've bought multiples?
The Puffer Gloss by Valentino. I truly have maybe 10 of them in various bags, cars and all over my apartment. It's the best gloss — plus, it's moisturizing.
What's an accessory you have your eye on?
Honestly, I think the best accessory any time I go out to an event or if it's the holidays or whatever it might be is an Aperol Spritz.
What shoes are you loving?
Can't go wrong with Khaite. Really all of Khaite's shoes, but there's these brown leather, almost flat boots that are great for walking around in New York City. I might leave this interview and go straight to the store and buy them.
Any other luxury fashion items you're lusting after?
Probably also those same Khaite boots because they're not cheap. I'm also very, very excited about the new Chanel collection. I want every single piece.
What's an affordable fashion item on your shopping list?
Now that winter's coming, a staple scarf or cashmere hat. You can get [them] at Aritzia or Frame — they are really good quality.
What's a wardrobe staple you love so much you've bought multiples?
Éterne has the most comfortable, most amazing just basic tees. I have the white cropped one as well as the white normal length and the black cropped and the black normal length. I have 10 of each because I wear them so often. They're so cozy and soft.
What's the last product a friend influenced you to buy?
Probably Kendall [Jenner]. She just posted her campaign for the Therabody face mask and I added it to the cart pretty immediately. So, thank you, Kendall. You got me.
What's the last product an influencer or celeb influenced you to buy?
Selena [Gomez] came out with a collection of her own [Rare Beauty] wedding products that she used on her wedding day, and I saw her that night and she looked absolutely stunning. I have to admit, I definitely went to the store and supported a friend and bought some of her actual lipstick that she was wearing and, actually, everything. I bought it. I texted Hung [Vanngo] (Gomez' makeup artist) and was like, "Tell me everything. I want it all." She looked insane.
