Mariska Hargitay's Changing Looks

The busy actress accented her smile with berry lipstick.

The Law and Order: Special Victims Unit lead played up her chocolate brown eyes with silvery shadow and lots of mascara.

Perhaps channeling her famously blond mother, Hargitay went platinum. "I definitely look like her, but only at certain angles," Mariska told People.

The Emmy nominee added fresh flowers to her high-volume updo.

Mariska won a Golden Globe in a soft, layered caramel cut.

"We did very smoky eyes," Dior makeup artist Matthew VanLeeuwen told People of the Emmy winner's look. "I tried to bring out the beautiful, delicious side of her. She said 'I feel gorgeous.'"

The Emmy nominee rocked a sleek, face-framing bob at the awards show.

Colorist Rick Wellman lightened the five-time Emmy nom's teased updo to better complement her canary gown.

The SVU actress appeared at the Academy Awards with a romantic loose updo.

Hargitay hit the Emmys in a style inspired by her recent anniversary. She told stylist Chris McMillan to give her a "similar thing" to her '50s retro wedding coif, gardenia and all!

Now a mom of three (she and husband Peter Hermann adopted Amaya and Andrew in 2011), Hargitay wore her hair in easy layers for an NBC event.
