Mariska Hargitay debuted a bold new haircut on Instagram early Tuesday, igniting speculation about her attendance at the 2026 Met Gala.
Her hairstylist, Adir Abergel, revealed that they decided to chop off some hair the night before the gala. Fans are now questioning whether this new look indicates that Hargitay will walk the red carpet.
Hargitay has a long history with the Met Gala, having attended in 2005 and 2010. The theme for this year’s gala is “Costume Art,” which may align well with her creative style.
As of midday, it remains unclear if Mariska Hargitay will actually attend the event. However, her fans are excitedly discussing her potential appearance.
Hargitay is best known for playing Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU. She has portrayed this iconic character for nearly three decades.
Many hope to see a reunion with Christopher Meloni’s character, Elliot Stabler, which she teased recently. This adds to the anticipation surrounding her possible appearance at the gala.
Fans took to social media asking, “IS MARISKA GOING TO THE MET GALA???” The buzz around her new bob haircut continues to grow.
