It\u2019s officially a Benito Skinner summer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The comedian, better known online as Benny Drama, has been everywhere lately – from starring in the Amazon Prime hit Overcompensating to keeping fans laughing on the Ride podcast with best friend and co-host Mary Beth Barone. And now, he\u2019s adding another big project to his list: teaming up with Heineken for the US Open.<\/p>\n

Skinner is helping launch the return of Heineken\u2019s popular non-alcoholic L0VE.L0VE cans, available nationwide for the first time. The campaign is part of the brand\u2019s \u201c0.0 Reasons, 0.0 Judgment\u201d initiative, which encourages judgment-free moderation – a perfect fit for Benny\u2019s playful and inclusive energy.<\/p>\n

E! caught up with Skinner to chat about his US Open must-haves, his favorite beauty picks, the fashion trends he\u2019s into, and how he plans to enjoy tennis season with his longtime collaborator Barone. Spoiler: his list of essentials is very Benny, very glam, and very judgment-free.<\/p>\n

His US Open Bag Must-Haves<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Asked what he\u2019s packing for the Open, Skinner rattled off a list that mixes practicality with signature flair.<\/p>\n

\u201cHeineken 0.0, of course,\u201d he laughed. \u201cWhat I like is, I want the taste, but I\u2019m not really a day drinker. I\u2019m just not. So I\u2019m going to have Heineken 0.0.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other musts? Sunglasses (\u201ceyes are the windows to the soul, you can\u2019t let people know who you\u2019re rooting for\u201d), sunscreen (\u201cmy babies, because we don\u2019t want to fry\u201d), gum, a spritz of fragrance, and no fewer than a dozen lip balms. \u201cOh, and a little scent, just in case,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

His Go-To Beauty and Makeup Picks<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Skinner is no stranger to beauty talk, often sharing his love of blush and skincare with fans. For the Heineken shoot in Grand Central, makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes used Charlotte Tilbury powder to keep things light.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn summer I like lighter coverage, because heavier makeup makes you sweat,\u201d Skinner explained. \u201cSetting sprays are my go-to. The One\/Size spray is crazy – you could wear your makeup until your last days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blush, however, is his true essential. \u201cAlways blush. I like putting it high under my eyes, across my nose, and a little on my temples – like a sun-kissed look. If I could only wear one thing, it would be blush. I love the Half Magic one called Sexual Flushtration, which is very cute. And then Saie has some good ones, and I love Ciele too.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for sunscreen, Skinner admits the choice is tough because of his rosacea-prone skin. \u201cI can\u2019t use chemical, so I have to use mineral. EltaMD is really good. Skinbetter has a super expensive one if you want to go feral with that. But those are my faves.\u201d<\/p>\n

His Fashion Trends (and What He\u2019s Avoiding)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Skinner is refreshingly judgment-free when it comes to style. \u201cI hate when people are like something\u2019s out,\u201d he said. \u201cSo many things look really good on different people and different styles. I\u2019ve really tried to ask, is this actually something I want to wear, or am I just doing it because everyone else is?\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now, he\u2019s loving vintage and retro vibes. \u201cI\u2019m loving the love of vintage, going back into the archives. I\u2019m loving polka dots. I mean I kind of have always loved a polka dot. And a polo shirt! I\u2019m wearing two today. Heineken let me wear two! Judgment free.\u201d<\/p>\n

As fans of his Ride podcast know, Skinner is also a Grailed enthusiast. \u201cBefore the plane took off, I had to buy two things,\u201d he said. \u201cI bought shredded old Abercrombie jeans – exactly what I would have worn in high school – and an old Polo Sport cutoff shirt. My friend said I looked like a \u2018Masshole.\u2019 I felt great about that. Grailed has been hitting hard lately, which says a lot about my mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n

What He\u2019s Riding For This Summer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When it comes to the US Open itself, Skinner says he\u2019s all about the experience – and making it judgment-free.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m riding for the fact that I can have a drink that tastes like alcohol, but it\u2019s not alcohol so I won\u2019t fall asleep. That really is my issue with day drinking,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

But the bigger highlight for him is spending time with Mary Beth Barone. \u201cI\u2019m obsessed with bestie dates. I\u2019m taking Mary Beth out to dinner and I\u2019m taking her to the Open. Heineken is letting me take my wife to the US Open, and what a gift that is!<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we just have to have intimate times and experiences with your best friend as you get older. We work together so consistently on Ride and Overcompensating, so it\u2019s nice to just go, share love, and have the best day.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Benito Skinner, whether it\u2019s blush placement, vintage jeans, or non-alcoholic beers, everything is about enjoying the moment without judgment. His US Open essentials prove that practicality and playfulness can sit side by side – just like him and Barone courtside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
