Go Inside Luann de Lesseps' Iconic RHONY Season 7 Moment: "Don't Be All, Like, Uncool"
Shop exclusive tees featuring The Real Housewives of New York City alum's memorable quote — and yes, they're all like, cool.
Money can't buy you class. Eggs can be served à la française. Even couture brands make mistakes. Every time Luann de Lesseps, former cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, speaks, fans gain a pearl of wisdom. And of course, because we are Bravo, we enjoy putting those pearls of wisdom on t-shirts for Bravoholics to proudly wear.
Even if you only know one of Luann's many memorable quotes, it's likely from RHONY Season 7, Episode 15, aptly titled "Don't Be All, Like, Uncool." While vacationing in the Caribbean, Luann stayed out later than some of her fellow cast members — and unbeknownst to some, brought a guest home with her.
When Heather Thomson woke up and discovered an underdressed man in the room adjacent to hers, she confronted Luann about it. In response, Luann offered a piece of advice that would live forever: Heather should "be cool," about her evening, and "don't be all, like, uncool" about it.
Those seven words made Housewives history as soon as Luann said them.

When we say it's a quote that has stood the test of time, we mean it. It can apply to almost any situation. It rolls off the tongue effortlessly. And it's not just for fans, either! Even Luann has joined in the fun over the years, recreating her Turks & Caicos look from that specific morning in a 2020 Instagram post — five full years after the episode aired — and even reenacting the moment for an excited BravoCon 2023 crowd.
TBH, it's all pretty on brand for the multihyphenate Bravoleb. After all, whether Luann is performing cabaret with a personalized twist, appearing with Sonja Morgan in Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake, or reuniting with additional former cast members for The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy, "the countess" can always be counted on to keep things quotable. And cool.
Now, Bravo fans can too. Shop cozy tees with Luann's iconic "be cool" quote below, and let people know how you feel when they're acting all, like, uncool.
