The hostess with the mostest has arrived.
Mariska Hargitay made the 2026 Emmys red carpet a family affair on Monday, arriving alongside husband Peter Hermann and their three children: August, 20, Andrew, 14, and Amaya, 15.
She and Amaya matched in nearly identical sparkling red Monse gowns, each covered in sequins and feathers. Both completed the look with strappy red heels and minimal accessories.
And while there were two generations of the famous family present for TV’s biggest night — which the “Law & Order” star is hosting — Amaya and Mariska also paid homage to Jayne Mansfield, Hargitay’s late mother.
The silver screen icon wore a similarly glittering, ruby red gown in a scene from the 1956 flick “The Girl Can’t Help It.”
It’s not the first time Hargitay has channeled Mansfield through style, as she also re-created one of her iconic mom’s leopard print looks for an Interview magazine photo shoot in 2023.
“I am always looking for signs that she’s with me,” she said on “Today” at the time.

While she’s not up for any awards at tonight’s ceremony, Hargitay already took home two Creative Arts Emmys last week for “My Mom Jane,” her documentary honoring Mansfield.
The actress turned Brodway star told Deadline tonight’s hosting gig is an “extraordinary opportunity,” saying she’s “excited to see all the people” attending the star-studded ceremony.
“I don’t really see it as about me,” she added. “I see it [as] about being part of something so historic.”
