Pakistan, Sept. 12 -- Mariska Hargitay is getting ready to host the Emmys - but she almost had a fashion emergency before the big night.

The Law & Order: SVU star joined the Emmy producing team Thursday, September 10, at the 2026 Emmy Awards Press Preview at LA Live in Los Angeles, where she helped roll out the red carpet for Monday's Primetime Emmy Awards.

Hargitay looked ready for the spotlight in a shimmering LaQuan Smith skirt suit. Then, things apparently got a little too exciting.

USA Today reports that Hargitay suddenly stopped the carpet rollout and announced, "Hold up, wardrobe malfunction! Better now than at the Emmys."

Exactly what went wrong with the outfit remains unclear, but Hargitay certainly didn't let the moment ruin...
