Mariska Hargitay walked the Cannes Film Festival red carpet alongside her husband Peter Hermann onTuesday night, looking so in love as they attended the premiere ofVie Privée(A Private Life) together.

The pair, who have been married for 20 years and share three children, stunned on the red carpet just days after Mariska premiered her documentary at the prestigious festival.

Fashion-forward

The Law & Order: SVUstar arrived in a show-stopping black gown with a silver and gold beaded pattern embroidered down one side and an ornate sleeve.

She added diamond earrings and an array of jewelry to the look, and wore her brunette locks silky straight down her back.

Her husband wowed ina black tuxedo and white shirt, perfectly complimenting Mariska's bold outfit.

The couple, who are extremelyprivate, recently stepped out with their family at the premiere of the actress' self-directed documentaryMy Mom Jayne, which explores the incredible life of her late mother, Jayne Mansfield.

At the event, they were joined by their three children August, Amaya and Andrew, who stood by their mother's side ahead of her big night.

Like mother, like daughter

The film festival holds special meaning for the 61-year-old, as her mother frequently attended Cannes before her untimely death in 1967.

"The photos of her, in Cannes in particular, were always so meaningful to me because of how free and happy and in love she was with my father [Mickey Hargitay]," she told Deadline."To be here, to bring her back here, and to tell her story was quite meaningful."

Mariska was one of Jayne's five children, whom she welcomed with Hungarian-born actor Mickey Hargitay.Her mother, famed for being a Playboy Playmate and acclaimed actress, passed away when she was just two years old in a tragic car crash.

A father's love

The TV star grew up close to her father Mickey; however, she discovered in her 20s that her biological father was really the Italian singer Nelson Sardelli.

Speaking withVanity Fairahead ofthe documentary's release, Mariska recalled her reunion with Nelson after coming to terms with the shocking news of her parentage.

"I've been waiting 30 years for this moment," she told the publication. "I went full Olivia Benson on him. I was like, 'I don't want anything, Idon't need anything from you. I have a dad.' There was something about loyalty. I wanted to be loyal to Mickey."

She continued: "He was my everything, my idol. He loved me so much, and I knew it. I also knew something else - Ijustdidn't know what I knew."

"I'm Mickey Hargitay's daughter - that is not a lie," the mother of three added. "This documentary is kind of a love letter to him, because there's no one that Iwas closer to on this planet."

Finding the one

Mickey passed away in 2006 from a type of blood cancer, five years after she met her husband Peter on the set of Law & Order: SVU.

The 57-year-old was guest starring as a defense attorney at the time, and asked Mariska on a date after filming wrapped.

"We went to church together, and it was like getting hit with a lightning bolt," she told People. "I just started sobbing.Peter thought I was crying because I was so moved by the service.No, it was because I wasjustoverwhelmed, realizing he was the one."
