Mariska Hargitay and daughter share matching red sequined gowns on Emmys carpet
Mariska Hargitay arrived at the 2026 Emmys with husband Peter Hermann and their three children, while she and daughter Amaya wore nearly identical red sequined dresses.
On the night of the 2026 Emmy Awards, Mariska Hargitay made the event a family affair, joining husband Peter Hermann and their three children—August, Andrew and Amaya—on the red carpet. Both Hargitay and her teenage daughter Amaya chose matching red Monse gowns, each lavishly embellished with sequins and feathers and paired with strappy heels. The look paid tribute to Jayne Mansfield, Hargitay’s mother, who famously wore a ruby-red gown in the 1956 movie "The Girl Can't Help It."
While Hargitay is not a nominee this evening, she recently received two Creative Arts Emmys for her documentary "My Mom Jane," which honors Mansfield. She called hosting the ceremony an extraordinary chance to be part of a historic moment. The family’s coordinated appearance highlighted both fashion homage and the actress’s recent award success.
