‘Law & Order’ Star, 62, Is Almost Unrecognizable in Sequins

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay is ditching her usual pared-down, modern aesthetic for red-carpet style ahead of hosting the Emmys on Monday.

The 62-year-old actress wore a head-to-toe sequin suit in a Los Angeles press preview for the Primetime Emmy Awards on September 10.

“Walking on sunshine,” she captioned photos of the outfit on Instagram , followed by a sun emoji.

Hargitay, a four-time Emmy winner herself, is preparing to host the Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday, Sept.

14, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

She will be the first woman to host the ceremony since actress Jane Lynch hosted in 2011.

For Thursday’s press preview, the police procedural star wore a structured LaQuan Smith jacket with a matching slit pencil skirt—a far cry from her usual laidback, darker-toned ensembles.

Hargitay accessorized her look with white suede pumps and oversized sunglasses, and wore her wavy brunette bob parted down the middle.

Fans quickly praised the sparkly look.

One wrote, “Shine bright like a 💎,” while another said Hargitay was “making the whole place SHIMMER.” Another fan wrote, “The song choice.

The suit.

The sparkle.

Absolutely no notes,” implying that the look was perfect.

The sequins mark a departure from Hargitay’s typically simple and polished wardrobe, as well as the practical suits and coats she frequently wears as Captain Olivia Benson on SVU .
