Jenna Ortega knows how to dazzle for winter, spring, summer and fall.

From award show red carpets and television appearances to movie premieres and fashion weeks, it's no mystery that the Wednesday star always sends a chill down our spine with her sultry style. 

Take, for instance, her jaw-dropping Givenchy top adorned with multi-colored jewels at the 2025 Emmy Awards. Although the ensemble weighed at least 30 pounds, Ortega was up for the fashion challenge from her stylist Enrique Melendez.

"She was like, 'Enrique, I love you. But can we please do something more practical next time?' Because it was heavy," he said on the Plus One podcast in September 2025. "That thing was digging into her poor collarbone."

And her Academy Museum Gala look one month later was just as daring, as the 23-year-old stepped out in a Grace Ling leaf-shaped metallic breastplate. Although the ensemble was a showstopper, Melendez—who has worked with Ortega since 2014—wasn't sure how the look would come together.

"Even up to the night of the event, we worried it was too similar to the Emmys look, because it was a hardware top and column skirt," he admitted to Marie Claire that December. "I was losing sleep over it, because I didn't want her to feel like she's wearing [the same thing] back to back."

He ultimately gave the look two snaps, adding that once she walked onto the carpet, he knew they "made the right decision."

Although the Winter Spring Summer or Fall actress is always down to push the envelope when it comes to her look, she has continued to embrace a spooky, ooky color palette.

Mariska Hargitay is ready to serve as captain.

Not just of New York’s Special Victims Unit through her longtime portrayal of Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU. But also of the 2026 Emmys, where she’ll be the first woman to host the ceremony in 15 years.

Hardly a stranger to the award show, Hargitay has been nominated eight times for her lead role on SVU—winning the trophy in 2006—and took home two statues at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys on Sept. 5 for the documentary she directed about her late mother Jayne Mansfield titled My Mom Jayne. And her partner in crime, husband Peter Hermann, was there to celebrate her big night. Posting a photo of the Younger alum flashing two fingers as she held up the gold figures, Hargitay captioned the Sept. 6 Instagram post, "God I love him."

But two decades ago, she wondered if the case on her love life had turned cold.

"I was single. I was 35," Hargitay recalled on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2022, "and my friends were like, 'Mariska, you need to get out more. Nobody’s going to just show up on your show and ask you marry them.’ And I was like, ‘Oh yeah?'"

The evidence against them: Her future groom made his first guest appearance as defense attorney Trevor Langan on a 2002 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit titled "Monogamy." Hermann and Hargitay then entered their own monogamous relationship after he invited her to church for their first date.

"I’m crying, and he thinks that I’m so moved by the sermon," the Every Brilliant Thing star added. "And I’m crying because I’m like, 'I know I’m going to marry him. I found my husband. I love him.'"

Realizing he didn’t want to investigate a future without her, Hermann still remembers the moment he knew he wanted to marry Hargitay.

Attending her 40th birthday party, "I actually saw Mariska with all of the people that she loved around her," the 59-year-old told People in 2019. "It was like seeing this person who was now in the soil, that she was just dying to be planted in it. Right? Which was this abundance of people and this abundance of love and I thought, 'I want to be part of that soil.'"
