This week, we honor classic beauty, Mariska Hargitay.

OK, so we confess, we're a little obsessed with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the character of Detective Benson is our absolute fave! So we had to pay homage to the actress that plays this bold and oh-so-beautiful officer of the law.

While many Law & Order enthusiasts already know, Hargitay has Throwback Thursday fabulosity in her blood. The star's mother was the late great Jayne Mansfield. Debuting on screen during the 1980's, Hargitay had many different roles before landing the one that she is best know for on Law & Order SVU.

"But I never leave the house without at least six tubes of lip-gloss. M.A.C. Lipglass and Chanel Glossimer in Glaze. Gloss makes me feel instantly polished and pulled together. Chanel soft-black liner to do a sexy, smoky eye for evening. Molton Brown lip liner never makes me look like I'm wearing liner."

And the secret to Hargitay's hair? The actress was quick to spill the beans on what keeps her tresses soft. "Feel my hair, it's so healthy," she said to InStyle magazine at a charity event once. "It's been blow dried every day for 13 years. But since I've been using Terax, when I blow it out it's so silky. It's my go-to." Try it $22.

We love officer Benson! Are you a fan of the show? Tell us with a note below!
