When not playing NYPD Captain Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Mariska Hargitay often entertains her followers on Instagram with personal photos. Especially those taken early on in her career.
Below is Hargitay as Didi Edelstein, the sexy next-door neighbor, in the 1995 sitcom Can’t Hurry Love, which starred Nancy McKeon (Jo on The Facts of Life).
When the former Miss Beverly Hills USA shared the photo below, of her flashing that beauty pageant winning smile in a cut-up Disney ‘Sleeping Beauty’ t-shirt, Hargitay’s fans and famous friends went wild with praise.
Ali Wentworth (In Living Color) replied: “You should cut all your T shirts like that!” Another fan of the Flashdance (below) look wrote: ” I don’t know if I can pull it off as well as her but after seeing this I’m seriously considering it myself.”
And another fan chimed in: “the eighties ARE making a comeback… it’s been nice not chopping up my clothes while it lasted…”
Get ready to see more of Hargitay: she’ll be back for Law & Order: SVU‘s landmark 25th season this fall. Meanwhile, fans are also admiring Hargitay’s iconic 80s look above.
