Mariska Hargitay Wearing her Mothers Wedding Gown

In 1983 when Mariska Hargitay was a mere 18 years old she entered in the Miss California Beauty Pageant. She represented Miss Beverly Hills and came fourth runner up. At the end of the pageant was the evening gown moment and for the special occasion Mariska wore an item of clothing dear to her heart. She wore Jayne's wedding gown from her marriage to Mickey (also her G.C.H.I costume). Mariska looks simply stunning in her mothers wedding dress. I can picture Mickey and Ellen sitting in the audience proud of their young girl, and Jayne not missing a moment, watching over her baby with overwhelming pride.
