Camila Mendes has come a long way since her days on “Riverdale,” but positive and accurate representation has always been important to her. The 30-year-old actress has said that while she’s not looking to only play Latina characters, she always

In “Do Revenge” and “Upgraded,” the only sign of her characters’ Latina identity was their Spanish names — something Mendes fought to change.”Sometimes the most minute forms of representation can be the most powerful because then you’re not reducing an entire character to their ethnic background,” she says.

In the rom-com “Música,” she played Isabella, a Brazilian from Newark, NJ, and had the opportunity to speak her native Portuguese. Now, almost a year since the release of that film, Mendes is currently filming her latest movie, “Masters of the Universe,” a superhero film that has involved so much training she’s had to pause on getting regular manicures — something she’s been doing for so long it’s become like second nature for her.

“I actually kind of love it,” she says. “I feel like I can do anything with my hands. I’m very physical right now. I’m in my training phase, so it’s nice to not have nails getting in the way of when you’re lifting weights or when you’re boxing.” But, at the same time, “it’s a very Brazilian thing [to get your nails done regularly]. Whenever I go to Brazil, my aunts and my mom are always going to the salon down the block, and they have to go every week, and it’s not really a pressure. It’s like an act of self-care. It’s a place where they go to bond and connect.”

These days, self-care for Mendes looks like dedicating time to her nutrition and fitness, which consists of everything from boxing to running. That’s why her recent partnership with Adidas couldn’t have come at a better time. She’s officially joined the three stripes to launch new colorways of the Adidas Supernova Rise 2, a comfort-first sneaker that the brand designed to “elevate the everyday running experience.”

We had the opportunity to chat with Mendes about why these sneakers have become one of her must-haves, along with some of her other favorite products. From an affordable undereye mask that keeps her looking rested after constant travel to the luxury designer purse that’s become her everyday bag, keep reading to shop Mendes’s favorite products.
