For years, we've seen Countess LuAnn De Lesseps mix it up with New York's elite such as Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel; now she's gets to mix it up with two of New York's finest: Stabler & Benson.

Yes, the woman who's resonated class, refinement and elegance on the Real Housewives Of New York will be making a special appearance on NBC's ratings juggernaut Law & Order: SVU -- and Radar Online has the exclusive first photos from the set.

"It was such an honor to work with such great actors," she told us exclusively of her experiences working with TV stars Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay.

"They were very supportive of me and made me feel comfortable.

"I enjoyed it. It was a challenge for me. It's about remembering your lines and standing in the right spot -- at the same time holding on to my sheet!"

In the episode, Countess LuAnn is aptly cast as a highbrow art collector who has a thing for the artist -- even posing nude for her love interest in one of the scenes.

"It was really fun for me to do scripted from reality," she said, adding the nude scene was tastefully done.

In between filming for Real Housewives of New York City, the Countess actually had only two days to remember her lines, but her longtime beau Jacques Azoulay rehearsed with her.

"I didn't have much time to work on it, so he read lines with me and was very helpful. He said, 'Say it like this, relax,'" she said.
