@OscarPRGirl & SVP, Global Communications, Oscar de la Renta. New York
We've been living vicariously through the closet of Erika Bearman—you might know her as @OscarPRGirl—pretty much since crop tops became a staple again (although after this Cov session, we’re starting to think they never really left). “I love the 90’s. Long skirts, little piercings, bleached hair,” Bearman confessed. But Bearman’s accolades far exceed her 90's revival. “I am best known (I think) for taking the brand’s reputation for outfitting ladies who lunch, to ladies (and girls) who tweet at lunch.” Upon our arrival at Bearman’s open-concept minimalist loft (punctuated with iconic New York accents and red overhead pipes), one of the fashion world's most ubiquitous names let us explore her sprawling dressing room —and trust us, there was nothing minimal about it. We were greeted in true Coveteur fashion, with rolling racks of Oscar de la Renta floor-length gowns, sequin two-piece ensembles and one-of-a-kind collector’s items. We’d be lying if we didn’t admit to being a little star struck; getting to play dress-up with Oscar’s most Instagrammed asset was truly like a throwback to our childhood Barbie days. (See the full shoot here!) Plus she’s even got the bleached-out blonde hair to make it believable. And, yes, she totally wears those OdlR showstoppers to the office, which made us seriously rethink our standard leggings and Tee ensemble. “[My style is] high glamour. I mean…hopefully,” Bearman confessed. “I will wear sweatpants to the grocery store but with heels and some ridiculous coat.” We bonded over our #MiniCoveteurs video (she and her handsome hubby were quoting it all night!) and the “Shit Oscar PR Girl Says” clips, while sipping on some pretty strong Margaritas… Thanks, Jon. We even got the scoop on how the two met —a love story straight out of a childhood fairytale. And with those striking Cinderella doe-eyed looks, the conversation naturally turned to beauty. “The best beauty secrets are Bikram yoga & sleep,” she said. “And no worrying. And don’t wear too much makeup.” But, her beauty cabinet says otherwise…
Oscar has taught me so many things –like how elegant it can be to cover the backs of your knees with a pencil skirt. He always thinks I need a belt. He will tease me about wearing an evening coat during the day but secretly I know he likes it.

When you wear Oscar’s clothes it’s sort of magic; I don’t think I could pick a favorite. It’s honestly the most glamorous stuff on the planet. Everything is so beautiful and so special. You feel like the girl everyone is looking at.

I’m sure it says something scary about my personality but what happens to me with shoes is that I find a pair that I love and I wear them everyday for a few months or whatever until they wear out and then I throw them away. So many beauties, RIP, I’ll never forget you.

I am a big Jay-Z fan, yeah. I love hip-hop. The screenprint was a gift from one of my interns, isn’t it sick? She made it. And apparently Jay has one too. What would Hova do? Two albums to download: A$AP Rocky Long.Live.A$AP and Pusha T’s mixtape Wrath of Caine.

The most fascinating place I went to recently was Seoul, Korea. The girls there are so cool I thought my head would explode. I came back and all I wanted was skin whiteners, eyelash extensions and a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

The “beautiful” tray is John Derian. Our brooches are the best, they are so well done and you can use them to actually fasten things (like a backwards bolero turned crop top).

The best part of my job is making Oscar happy. I get so many weird things everyday on social media but that’s what makes it amazing. If you don’t have any stalkers how will the kids know to look up to you? The best beauty secrets are Bikram yoga & sleep. And no worrying. And don’t wear too much makeup.

The best part of living in NYC is that it’s the center of the universe. Five places I like: Bergdorf Goodman, Indochine, The Lamb’s Club, The Carlyle, the walk from Tribeca into Soho.

My skin is a little dry so I love oils. I’m only happy when I look a little bit shiny. I’ve been using Clinique ‘take the day off’ since I was in tenth grade. Renee Rouleau’s triple berry smoothing peel is amazing. And I think the Clarisonic is excellent.

Secret to staying warm in NYC winters? Big coats. And Beats by Dre headphones.
