‘Law & Order’ theme song has its own viral TikTok dance
Longtime SVU actresses Mariska Hargitay and Kelli Giddish performed a viral dance to the show’s theme song, “Law and Order.”
Mariska Hargitay debuts a new look.
The “Law & Order: SVU” star revealed her hair change in a May 3 Instagram post from celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel, in which the 62-year-old actress flaunts her hair cut just below her chin and in loose waves.
The chop came a few weeks before his Broadway debut in “Every Brilliant Thing” at the Hudson Theatre. Her run is currently scheduled to run from May 26 to June 28, after Daniel Radcliffe withdrew from the one-man show that just received a Tony Award nomination.
“I’ve switched gears,” Hargitay commented under the post.
This new style is a departure for Hargitay, aka beloved Olivia Benson, who is now known for her long brunette hair. However, she has gone through several different eras with her hair. She sported a variety of short styles over the first 10 seasons of ‘SVU.’
“Like any woman, Olivia is trying to find a hairstyle that fits her life,” Hargitay told TV Insider in 2018. “I support all hairstyles except maybe three.”
Her character’s spiky behavior in season three, which Hargitay described as “a little porcupine-ish” in a September interview with Allure magazine, was an accident that brought her to tears and briefly threatened her career, the actress has said in interviews over the years.
“Law & Order” creator Dick Wolf said, “They told me they were going to fire me. I cried and said, ‘Are you blaming me?'” she recalled to TV Insider. “That went on for two weeks. Then he said, ‘I don’t cry on TV,’ and we got over it.”
The chop happened “in the middle of the episode,” Hargitay said on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” in November.
Abergel, who has worked with clients ranging from Nicole Kidman to Hailee Steinfeld to Reese Witherspoon to Jennifer Garner, is no stranger to big hair changes.
He and Oscar nominee Kristen Stewart are thick as thieves, so much so that the “Twilight” alumnus lets her “best friend” Abergel go bald.
“Thank you for knowing me so deeply as a person that one day when I shave my head, bleach my roots before a premiere, or cut my hair with kitchen shears, you’ll yell at me, ‘Listen! Why are you leaving her bald? What’s the problem here?'” Abergel said in her acceptance speech at the WWD Style Awards in January.
“You are like a collaborator in my life. You are an absolutely fearless artist and an icon,” he added.
