Mariska Hargitay Crashes Wedding Pics as Law & Order: SVU’s Olivia Benson


Emmys 2026: Mariska Hargitay Perfectly Roasts Dick Wolf, Nicole Kidman and Jalen Brunson

Mariska Hargitay is part of a new kind of S.V.U.—the special visitors unit.

The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star brightened up one happy couple’s wedding day when she stumbled upon their photos while in character as Olivia Benson.

In video of the moment shared to Instagram Oct. 1, Hargitay—sporting a gray peacoat, black pants and her character’s NYPD badge—ran up to the unsuspecting couple, who posed in their wedding day attire outside the New York County Supreme Court.

The actress was on the case, too, making sure to lean into the bride and groom with a wide smile.

Of course, in her 28 seasons of filming the beloved NBC procedural, Hargitay has made her mark with other legendary fan interactions. In fact, she crashed another wedding photoshoot in March 2024 moments after a couple filed their papers in NYC.

After posing for a couple pictures, she quipped in a video of the moment shared by Splash News at the time, “I’m your wedding present.”
