Channeling 'Cattitude': Haley Lu Richardson Shares Her Go-To 'Cat Energy' Style and Beauty Secrets

While fans may know Haley Lu Richardson for her acting chops—most notably in HBO's hit series The White Lotus—off-screen, she proudly embraces her role as a devoted cat mom.

Her feline companion, Darbin, is the center of her world. "Darbin is really more like my child to me than my cat," the actress shared. "He brings me the most joy."

To ensure Darbin gets all the pampering he deserves, Richardson recently teamed up with pet food brand Sheba for their "Ignored to Adored" campaign, keeping her furry best friend fully stocked on his favorite treats.

But being a passionate pet parent goes beyond handing out snacks; for Richardson, it is an entire lifestyle and aesthetic. When asked how to properly channel inner "cattitude" through fashion, she recommended a fiercely fabulous combination:

"Sunglasses at night with a pair of vintage stiletto boots give cat energy for sure."

Much like her feline friend, Richardson takes her personal grooming routine very seriously. Her ultimate beauty secret? Intense hydration from head to toe. To keep her complexion glowing, she relies on drinking plenty of water and drenching her face in a high-quality hyaluronic acid serum. She also loves finishing off her makeup routine by pairing her favorite lip liner with a hydrating, blurring lipstick to prevent dry, flaky patches.

As for her signature bouncy hair, she skips the heat tools entirely. "I’m not a fan of diffusers," she confessed. Instead, she relies on a generous mix of leave-in conditioners, hair oil, and a light curl-holding cream. By using the scrunch method and simply letting her locks air-dry, she achieves perfectly hydrated, effortless curls.
