MTV Remote Control Blog › Erin Lucas

While many of the dates and relationships on "The City" have been lackluster, there's always one thing we can count on: the fashions! Here's a list of our most-wanted date night looks from the past, plus tips on where you can wear them (if you so desire)!

1) Whitney, on an evening date with Freddie Fackelmayer.
What She Wore: A gray long-sleeve dress with braided details along the neckline.
Where To Wear It: You can play this down for a daytime event by pairing it with motorcycle boots ... or choose to slip on some sky-high heels for a more refined style.

2) Erin Lucas, on a hot date with her ex-boyfriend, JR.
What She Wore: The city chic beauty donned all black, and the swing coat outlined her slender silhouette. Plus, the chunky jewelery really made the outfit pop.
Where To Wear It: This is a great outfit for the fall, especially if you're doing something outside. The coat serves as part of its flirty look!

3) Roxy, going to meet "date" Zac at The Gates -- though he showed up with an army of gaggles instead.
What She Wore: A red hot spaghetti strap dress with sweetheart neckline and matching lipstick.
Where To Wear It: This dramatic look is definitely not for daytime but would work perfectly at a romantic dinner or (nonwork) cocktail party.

4) Whit, lunching with Jay (on a mission to find out the truth about him and Danielle!).
What She Wore: A lavender romper with vertical splashes of color.
Where To Wear It: This is the quintessential summer piece because it can be dressed up or down depending on the shoes and accessories.

5) Samantha, heading to Adam's barbecue to hang out with Harry Fackelmayer.
What She Wore: Sam sported a structured cream-colored blazer over a purple dress and paired it with an oversize leather bag and stilettos.
Where To Wear It: If you swap out the heels for a pair of strappy flat sandals, you can totally wear this during the day to a picnic or outdoor concert.

Only a true glam girl like Erin Lucas (remember her from way back when??) can look superhot in sweats. The ex-"City" star attended Esprit's flagship opening in New York City last night in an athletic-inspired ensemble.

Rocking a super-comfy gray T-shirt, cropped black harem pants and leg-lengthening nude pumps, Erin transformed utilitarian pieces into a sexy suit. Although she threw her hair in a messy bun, the intricate bib necklace and structured clutch neutralized her laid-back look.

+ What do you think of Erin's (semi) practical outfit? Eager to give it a whirl, or is it just too Sporty Spice for your taste?

Whitney Port's always had a good head on her shoulders. Smart, sensible and quietly ambitious, she started out as Lauren Conrad's top advice giver-outer, survived a stint as Erin Lucas' crying shoulder and finally evolved into Roxy Olin's best friend and closest confidante. And while she's taken a few big leaps of faith in her life (like moving across the country to New York!), she's mostly skated by on her hard work, dedication and slow-and-steady-wins-the-race approach.

'Course, that could all change tonight ... if Kelly Cutrone has her way. On the City fall finale, the brazen boss lady's pushin' Whitney to bet it all for one shot at greatness. But is the budding designer ready to risk her rep on a whim? Watch Kelly encourage Whit to make the ultimate gamble, then tune in tonight at 10:30pm to find out whether our gal will be playin' it safe -- or going for the gusto.

We liked Joe Zee's alphabetized list idea so much (A to Zee, get it??) we thought we'd do one of our own. This goes out to you, Olivia! Thanks for all the laughter, tears and rolly-eyes. The City wouldn't be the same without you.

A is for attitude. Needless to say, Olivia Palermo has this in spades.
B is for Butler, also known as Liv's adorbs little puppy! (Hey, at least he's not named "Man Servant.")
C is for can, as in can you BELIEVE the look on Erin's face when Olivia nailed it tonight? Booyah!
D is for debs, short for debutantes. Which ranks second (behind "toodles") on our list of Words To Steal.
E is for Erin Lucas. Is it just us or does she look totally different this season?! Annnnnyway ...
F is for Kelly Cutrone's Ford. Nothing to do with Olivia, we just like the idea of it. A lot.
G is for glaring uncontrollably at your frenemies. You know who you are.
H is for unbathed hipsters in grungy, Kurt Cobain plaid. Viva la revolution!
I is for immature. Remember that time Whit tried to talk about personal shtuff?? Soooo high school.
J is for Johannes Huebl, Olivia's smokin' hot (but, sadly, off-camera) boyfriend.
K is for kissing 22 goodbye! Here's what we gave Olivia for the big 2-3.
L is for Liv's amazing one-liners. "Shamu's not runway material"? Classic!
M is for Manolo Blahnik, Olivia's close, personal friend (who may or may not remember her).
N is for Olivia's ne'er-do-well cousin, Nevan Donahue. How's the job search going, bro?
O is for Olivia's house rules. We especially liked the one where she made fun of Nevan's kicks.
P is for personalized placecards. You can't have a casual, five-star dinner party without them.
Q is for quit asking Whitney about Liv, okay? They aren't super best friends. Get over it.
R is for recessionista! Who knew our Uptown Girl was so into Top Shop and H&M??
S is for socials! Raise those glasses of champy up high, girls!
T is for Tamarama, Olivia's most favoritest band in the whole wide world! Oh wait, are we in Opposite Land?
U is for going undercover/acting like you're busting up a drug ring ('steada just a dude in a Pravda hat).
V is for vintage-loving Victoria Beckham, who you just KNOW is Olivia's secret star crush.
W is for where have all the cocktail rings gone? No, seriously, where?
X is for X-mas etiquette. FYI, Liv is AGAINST getting so drunk you "like, fall on your face." Duly noted!
Y is for yellow. Fashionable gals wouldn't be could dead in it. Or WOULD they??
Z is for the amazing Joe Zee, who never stopped believing. Way to make him proud, girl!

We didn't see that much of Samantha on The City (she occasionally rounded out Whit's Sex and the City-ish foursomes along with Allie and Erin), but lately girl's been spending QT with Erin Lucas away from the show's cameras. The real-life gal pals showed off similar strapless black getups (above, left) at a movie premiere earlier this week -- and that wasn't the first time they color-coordinated their clothes! Check out the pic we dug up from the February '09 Fashion Week archives. What can we say? Great style minds think alike!

We're all for low-maintenance when it comes to haircare. But yesterday, The City's Erin Lucas threw us for a loop by admitting it's been over a week since she last lathered, rinsed and repeated. (Or, as she tweeted: "i may or may not be going on day 9 of not washing my hair. personal worst. i am officially grossing myself out.")

And while the story has a happy ending (Lucas caved a few hours later, declaring "Shampoo has never felt better!"), we wanna know what you think about her hair-raising rebellion.

+ Is grease still the word? Take our poll and tell us the longest you've ever gone between washings!

Hold the phone! Last night, at the RIM BlackBerry Tour kickoff party (which went down at NYC's Thomson Hotel), Olivia Palermo and her City costar Erin Lucas were actually spotted giggling, smiling and maybe even texting together. So what had these two former frenemies seeing eye-to-eye?

We're not sure, but our best guess would be the indisputable hotness of Gossip Girl star/fellow partygoer Chace Crawford. Anyhow, peep these pix ... and note the major height differential caused by Erin Lucas' adorbs pink stilettos. Work it, girl!

Erin Lucas may not be into exclusive dating right now, but back in junior high this swingin' single was a one-man kinda gal. In a new interview with Maxim.com (where, P.S., she's looking GAWGE-ous), Erin shared the story of her very first romance! Ah, memories.

"I was in the eighth grade," Lucas recalled. "I was such a little prude back in middle school. I was going out with this guy who was a grade older than me. I made him wait an entire month before I would let him kiss me. It was after homecoming, and I was really nervous. I think he had gum in his mouth, and somehow it ended up in mine."

Aww/ewww! Thanks for the recap, lady! Meanwhile, we're just glad that didn't end with the phrase " ... and that's when we realized our braces were stuck together."

Have you ever tried wiping the grin off your face for a sexy photograph, a la M-K and Ash Olsen? It sounds easy, we know, but do it wrong and you run the risk of looking bored and pissed-off instead of sultry and mysterious.

Take a look at these Top Model-worthy shots and give our girl props for showin' off her more serious side!
