Mariska Hargitay Wore Carolina Herrera For The ‘My Mom Jayne’ Cannes Film Festival Premiere & Photocall
Mariska Hargitay made her directorial debut at the Cannes Film Festival with the deeply personal documentary My Mom Jayne, which honours her late mother, Jayne Mansfield. The film dives into their layered mother-daughter relationship, while also celebrating Mansfield’s Hollywood legacy—and true to that theme, Mariska’s red carpet looks delivered on the vintage drama with a contemporary twist.

At the premiere, she wore a pink Carolina Herrera gown covered in shimmering sequins with a structured satin neckline that gave it that classic, statuesque silhouette. The gloves, though? I see the Old Hollywood intention—and the commitment to the theme doesn’t go unnoticed—but I can’t help but wish they’d been satin to match the neckline, or just left behind entirely. Still, the overall vision made its point: this was about reverence, glamour, and presence.

For the photocall, however, Mariska truly had her moment. The Carolina Herrera polka dot off-the-shoulder ruffled blouse paired with high-waisted palazzo pants was Riviera-ready perfection. Playful, breezy, and bursting with personality, this look captured the energy of Cannes in the sunshine. It was elegant without being too serious, joyful without trying too hard.
This promotional tour may be personal, but on the style front, Mariska made it feel celebratory—just like the life and legacy she’s sharing with the world.
