Mariska Hargitay stunned when she walked the red carpet at the premiere of her documentary, "My Mom Jayne," at the Cannes Film Festival, in an off-the-shoulder dress with a black top and high-waisted sequined red skirt. The actress paired the look with dangling diamond earrings and black opera gloves with a ring on her finger. She styled her hair in big curls in a deep side part, reminiscent of big Hollywood glamour, and went for a more natural makeup look. She posted multiple photos from the evening on Instagram, including some of her posing on the red carpet and holding hands with her husband, actor Peter Hermann, on their way to the premiere. "Absolutely stunning. You look like a dream right out of the 60's, a style perfect for honoring your Mom's story, and yours," one fan wrote in the comments section of one of the posts. Another added, "What a stunning night. Your mom would be so proud." The "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star also walked the red carpet at the premiere of "Vie Privée." While posing for photos, the star turned heads in a figure-hugging one-shoulder black dress, with silver and gold beaded embroidery along the entirety of the left side, which culminated at the top with a three-dimensional design on her shoulder. She paired the look with dangly diamond earrings, as well as a few rings and bracelets, choosing to style her hair straight and in a middle part. "Timeless!! More breathtaking with every look," one fan wrote in the comments section of an Instagram post featuring her look for the evening. Another added, "WOW WOW WOW YOU look amazing," while actor Neil Patrick Harris chimed in with "Stunnnnnnning!" Hargitay took no breaks while at the Cannes Film Festival, as she also posed for photos on the red carpet at the amfAR Gala presented by Chopard. She stunned in a form-fitting white dress with a jewel-encrusted halter neckline and a slight train behind her. The actress accessorized with a silver clutch, a statement ring and bracelet, as well as diamond drop earrings. This time around, the actress pulled her hair back in a bun and opted for dramatic eye makeup and pink lips. While at the film festival, Harigtay debuted a documentary she self-produced and directed about her mom, actress Jayne Mansfield, called "My Mom Jayne." Mansfield died in a car accident when Hargitay was three years old. She was then raised by her father, Mickey Hargitay, who, she recently revealed, is not her biological father. She found out in her 20s, her biological father is Las Vegas entertainer Nelson Sardelli. "I grew up where I was supposed to, and I do know that everyone made the best choice for me," she said. "I'm Mickey Hargitay's daughter. That is not a lie. This documentary is kind of a love letter to him, because there's no one that I was closer to on this planet." Scarlett Johansson looked ethereal in a flowing strapless purple gown, which featured rouching on the bodice and pieces of fabric, which detached from her torso and flowed to the floor, creating a slight train behind her. The actress paired the dress with a diamond bracelet and a pair of diamond earrings, choosing to style her hair in a slick back bun. She went for a more dramatic makeup look with bold lashes and red lips. While at Cannes, Johansson premiered her directorial debut, "Eleanor the Great," which received a five-minute standing ovation. Nicole Kidman posed for photos in a sleeveless figure-hugging red gown with a high neckline and lace detailing throughout while on the red carpet at the Kering Women in Motion Awards at the Cannes Film Festival. The actress kept her accessories to a minimum and wore her signature straight blonde hair in a middle part. Not only did Kidman look great on the carpet, she was also this year's Kering Women in Motion honoree. While accepting the honor, Kidman pledged to continue working with female directors, as well as female writers, cinematographers and female crew, saying, "You can say you support it, but you actually have to do it." "We need to give women better roles, particularly as they get older. We are here, and we can prove to you that we will make money for you," she said. "Invest in us and believe in us, because our voices are so important. We will help change the world, but we will also give you a glimpse of our hearts and our souls and what it means to be a woman. If you just give us the chance, we are so ready." Lauren Sánchez brought the glamour when she walked the red carpet at the Global Gift Gala during the Cannes Film Festival in a strapless black Dolce & Gabbana dress with a flowing skirt and sequined top. While at the event, Sanchez was honored with the Women Empowerment Award, which was presented to her by actress, Eva Longoria. During her acceptance speech, Sanchez said the night wasn't just about celebrating her, but also "about recognizing our collective ability to light the way for each other." "Empowerment isn't about individual success," she added. "It's about our collective commitment to choosing compassion over judgment, dignity over indifference, and hope over despair." Sánchez also made a splash when she walked the red carpet at the amfAR Gala in a strapless mermaid-inspired gown by Roberto Cavalli, with a corseted bodice, sweetheart neckline and blue and silver sequins all over. She posted photos from the evening on her Instagram, calling the event "A night driven by purpose." "Disney I found the Princess!!!!" one fan wrote in the comments section, while another added, "Wow! Those colors look amazing on you." A third fan chimed in with "Out of this world!!!!" Heidi Klum walked the red carpet at the amfAR Gala at the Cannes Film Festival in a black Yara Shoemaker, which featured a shimmering corseted bodice. The supermodel paired the look with a billowing feather-trimmed shawl which she wrapped around her elbows. Klum let the dress do all the talking, keeping her makeup and accessories to a minimum, and styling her hair in a new shorter cut, parted down the middle. Dakota Johnson posed for photos on the red carpet at the premiere of "Highest 2 Lowest" at the Cannes Film Festival, in a strapless pastel pink Gucci dress with fringe. The actress paired the look with just a pair of silver earrings in the shape of leaves, and wore her hair straight and parted in the middle. Eva Longoria arrived at the premiere of "The Phoenician Scheme" in a shimmering figure-hugging strapless Tamara Ralph Haute Couture dress, with a corseted bodice and a plunging strapless bejeweled neckline. She posted photos of her look on Instagram, captioning the post, "Pretty in pink," and fans were quick to flood the comments section with positivity. "Eva you look Stunning!!" one fan wrote, adding a few heart emojis. Another added, "Jaw dropping gorgeous ma'am," with a third writing, "Eva my queen. Stunning." The "Desperate Housewives" star also walked the red carpet at the Global Gift Gala, where she presented Lauren Sánchez with the Women Empowerment Award. Longoria posed for photos in a strapless black Elie Saab gown, which was decked out in silver beads and sequins from top to bottom. She made some modifications to the dress, changing the skirt from the sheer version seen on the runway to a covered version, in order to abide by the event's dress code, which was changed this year to ban nudity. "Last night was an unforgettable evening at @globalgiftfoundation with @mariarbravo, @laurapausini, @laurenwsanchez, and so many incredible changemakers — all united for a cause that touches lives across the globe," she captioned an Instagram post featuring photos from the evening.

"A little red on the Riviera," she captioned an Instagram post featuring photos from the evening. "Forever a queen. We love you!" one fan wrote in the comments section. Another added, "Your beauty never fades," while a third also wrote, "This oozes old Hollywood glamour."

Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay, 61, shoots husband of 20 years a loving look during rare date night in Cannes
Mariska Hargitay seemed to be inspired by old Hollywood glamor as she attended the annual Foundation for AIDS Research gala in Cannes Thursday night. The actress, 61, who has been at the film festival promoting her documentary My Mom Jayne, about her later mother, blonde bombshell Jayne Mansfield. The Law & Order: SVU star stepped out in a stunning white gown with a silver beaded halter neck and a short train from the French fashion house Patou. In keeping with her classic look, the Emmy winner had her thick, chestnut tresses styled in a sleek updo. She chose to let her natural beauty shine out wearing a sensuous smoky eye with a hint of blush and a soft pink lip. Hargitay accessorized with diamond earrings, rings, a bracelet and a purse from gala sponsor Chopard. Sharing the look on social media she thanked her makeup artist Georgi Sandev and hair stylist David von Cannon for their help in making her picture perfect for the fundraiser. Peter Hermann, 57, looked elegant in a black tuxedo and shirt, which highlighted his salt and pepper hair and beard. The couple, who have been married for more than 20 years and share three kids together, seemed like newlyweds, holding hands as they made their way toward the storied Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Sharing a photo of herself and Hermann on social media, Hargitay played off the couple's bridal look tagging the photo with #isaidyes, which many future brides use to announce their engagements. The pair met when Hermann was a guest star on SVU in 2002. Their son August, was born in 2006, and they adopted daughter Amaya and son Andrew, both 13, in 2011. All three kids accompanied their parents to Cannes, but Thursday night was a rare public date night for their mom and dad. Giving a shoutout to charitable organization, Hargitay wrote, 'Thank you @amfarfor the extraordinary work you do in the fight to end the global aids epidemic.' Since it's founding in 1985, 'amfAR has raised more than $920 million in support of its programs and has awarded more than 3,800 grants to research teams worldwide,' according to the organization's website. Hargitay directed and produced the documentary My Mom Jayne. The love letter to her late mother, who died in an automobile accident in 1967, received a four minute standing ovation after it was screened May 17. Deadline's Pete Hammond wrote in his review the film 'includes a very happy ending that just might have you in tears. It is indeed quite a ride, quite a life and quite an extraordinary film.' My Mom Jayne will begin streaming on Max June 27.

After the death of her mother, Hollywood star Jayne Mansfield, in a car accident when she was just three years old, her dad Mickey raised her and her siblings. 'He was my everything, my idol. He loved me so much, and I knew it,' the 61-year-old told Vanity Fair . 'I also knew something else — I just didn't know what I knew.' Hargitay says that she always felt she was different from her brothers and sisters and when she was in her 20s she saw a photo of Italian entertainer Nelson Sardelli, who her mother dated during a brief split from Mickey in the early 1960s before her birth in 1964.

Photo by JULIE SEBADELHA / AFP via Getty Images She asked her dad about him, but Mickey, who died in 2006, found the exchange 'so shattering' and wouldn't talk about Sardelli. When she was 30, Hargitay saw the singer perform in Atlantic City. 'It was like the floor fell out from underneath me,' she says in My Mom Jayne. 'Like my infrastructure dissolved.' 'I've been waiting 30 years for this moment,' she recalled him telling her after they met. But Hargitay said she went 'full Olivia Benson on him.' 'I was like, 'I don't want anything, I don't need anything from you … I have a dad.' There was something about loyalty. I wanted to be loyal to Mickey,' she said. Even though she struggled with 'knowing I'm living a lie my entire life,' Hargitay eventually formed a relationship with Sardelli and his daughters and reconciled herself to the fact that her mother returned to Mickey because she knew he was the best thing for her daughter.

'I'm Mickey Hargitay's daughter — that is not a lie.' She said the documentary, which is airing next month on HBO in the United States, is ' a love letter to him.' 'T here's no one that I was closer to on this planet,' she said. Sardelli's daughters 'just wept and wept and wept' when they saw Hargitay's movie. 'These two women that I love so much – I made them secrets!' said Hargitay. 'It's so heartbreaking to me … I'm not good with lies. So, I also made this movie to unburden all of us.' The film also allowed her to reexamine her mother's legacy. 'I don't remember the accident. I don't even remember being told that my mother had died,' Hargitay says of the crash that killed her mother as she was in the back seat. 'I look at photos, and I don't really remember anything until I was five.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. One of her early memories is of how she didn't like hearing her mother's voice when she watched some of Mansfield's old movies. 'When I would hear that fake voice, it used to just flip me out. I'd think, Why is she talking like that? That's not real,' she told Vanity Fair . But her dad, Mickey told Hargitay it was all just an act. 'My dad would always say, 'She wasn't like that at all. She was like you . She was funny and irreverent and fearless and real.'' mdaniell@ Read More Canada Toronto Maple Leafs Editorial Cartoons Other Sports Toronto & GTA
