Mariska Hargitay Turns the Emmys into a Fashion Parade Honoring Her Mom
Mariska Hargitay hosted the 2026 Emmys and turned the night into a running fashion show, changing into at least 13 outfits — including a red sequined gown echoing her mother Jayne Mansfield — and opening with a monologue as the first female host in 15 years, plus a pre-taped sketch with Taylor Swift; she styled a sequence of looks from black to white to metallic, even donning a fur-trimmed cape with a sword, while being joined on the red carpet by husband Peter Hermann and their sons.
