A pair of New York City newlyweds were in the middle of their wedding portraits when their photo shoot suddenly picked up an unexpected guest, Mariska Hargitay, still dressed as Capt. Olivia Benson.
The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star was filming nearby on October 1 when she spotted the unidentified bride and groom outside the New York County Supreme Court in Manhattan. Hargitay stepped away from the set and ran toward the couple before joining them for several photographs.
Photographer José Pérez captured her approach on video and shared the encounter on Instagram later that day. PEOPLE reported that Hargitay slipped into the portrait session while the couple was still facing the camera, smiling beside them and enthusiastically pointing toward the newlyweds.
Hargitay was wearing Benson's wardrobe while SVU films its upcoming 28th season, giving the couple a wedding photograph with the show's longtime captain less than a week before the series returns to NBC.
Pérez's footage shows Hargitay running up behind the couple while they continue posing, apparently unaware that she is about to enter the frame.

Long before Queen Elizabeth became Britain's longest-reigning monarch, she was a young princess whose future changed dramatically with one royal abdication.
Born in 1926, Elizabeth was not initially expected to inherit the throne. That changed in 1936, when her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated and her father became King George VI.
The years that followed saw Elizabeth serve during World War II, marry Prince Philip and welcome their first two children, King Charles and Princess Anne. She became Queen in 1952 following her father's early death at age 56.
During her 70-year reign, Elizabeth welcomed two more children, the former Prince Andrew and Prince Edward, and witnessed decades of change within the monarchy and around the world. She died four years ago on Sept. 8, 2022, at age 96, bringing Britain's longest royal reign to a close.
From official portraits to candid childhood moments, here's a look back at Queen Elizabeth's life before she wore the crown.

GENAZZANO, Italy (AP) — Pope Leo XIV returned Monday to a sanctuary where he prayed just after his election and revealed a permanent sign of his devotion to the place: a fresco depicting him praying that now adorns an upper cornice of the basilica.
Leo unveiled the portrait before celebrating Mass with his fellow Augustinian brothers at the Sanctuary of Our Mother of Good Counsel in the medieval village of Genazzano south of Rome. He joins a handful of past popes whose visits to the sanctuary were commemorated with portraits that adorn its walls, going back to Pope Urban VIII in 1630.
Leo visited the sanctuary on May 10, 2025, just two days after his election and in his first outing as pope. The former Robert Prevost had been there many times before, since the place has special significance for the pope's Augustinian religious order.
The sanctuary is managed by Augustinian friars and has been a place of pilgrimage since the 15th century. Leo's namesake, Pope Leo XIII, elevated it to a minor basilica and expanded the adjacent convent in the early 1900s.
Leo referred to that 2025 outing during his homily at the basilica Monday, which commemorates the birth of Mary. Leo recalled what he wrote then in the sanctuary's guest book.

Lili Reinhart has yet again left the internet aflame, posing in a vibrant red Valentino dress featuring a massive back cutout. The "Forbidden Fruits" actress is currently busy promoting her upcoming rom-com, "The Love Hypothesis," starring Tom Bateman. She posed in several different outfits for the portraits accompanying her new feature story with ELLE, alongside Bateman.
Lili Reinhart gave Old Hollywood glam vibes in the fiery red floor-length gown from Valentino. The Cady Couture Long Dress featured long, tailored sleeves and a high draped cowl neck wrapped around her collar. The complete coverage at the front offset the dramatic open-back design. The huge V-shaped cutout at the back plunged all the way down to her waist.
This stark, geometric open back added a sultry element to what appeared to be a simple red dress from the front. Furthermore, the fabric draped down to a floor-sweeping length, gathering at the lower back before falling into a graceful, rounded train that pooled around her feet.
The lower half of Reinhart's look was not visible in the photo, as she looked over her shoulder in the shot that captured her from the side for ELLE.
The "American Sweatshop" actress paired the red dress with Valentino Kabarett Earrings in Metal and Crystals. The oval aluminium jewel design was covered with crystals. In addition, pendant tassels composed of crystals and Swarovski pearls fell downwards from the top of the oval structure. The earrings added just the right amount of sparkle to her look, although her hair partially veiled them.

The 23-year-old posed for a series of striking portraits for acclaimed photographer Brad Walsh's book FELLA: Images of Men.
In the images, James shows off his sculpted physique and movie-star looks, posing in a fitted black tank top that highlights his muscular arms and broad shoulders.
Another portrait saw him leaning casually against a fireplace in a vintage graphic T-shirt and paint-splattered pants, while a close-up shot captured his tousled hair, piercing gaze, and undeniable resemblance to both of his famous parents.
The images led many fans to believe that James was setting his sights on a modeling career; however, he has since shut down those rumors.

We are firm fans of Mark Guiducci's Vanity Fair. Having succeeded Radhika Jones in 2025, names like Jennifer Aniston, Elle & Dakota Fanning, Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor, Margaret Qualley, Kylie Jenner, Mbappé, and Lisa have become cover stars. Covers have captivated and caught our attention to no end. Next up on the cover of Vanity Fair is Marc Jacobs, who fronts the 2026 Style issue of the magazine. The CFDA Award-winning American designer (whose fashion label is set to be sold by LVMH to WHP Global and G-III Apparel Group in a deal valued at up to $850 million) is painted by the Canadian artist Anna Weyant for the occasion.

"I love art and portraits, but not this for a cover of a style issue," shared MModa upon checking out the cover.
"I've really been enjoying the new Vanity Fair a lot, but this is probably the weakest cover under Mark Guiducci so far. I don't mind it, though – it's definitely not the best, but I don't think it's awful," LastNight voiced.
"Sometimes it's best to just use a nice photo for the front of the issue. Twist yourself into knots trying to do something different, and you end up making Marc Jacobs look a bit like a very serious Ringo Starr," shrieked tigerrouge.

Model Bella Hadid has become the face of the pre-fall 2026 activewear campaign of the company Alo. The partnership was announced this week and received backlash from people who support both Palestinians and Israel.
According to Elle magazine, the partnership was unveiled on Tuesday. Hadid's move to the Los Angeles wellness label is consistent with her off-duty style. Hadid announced the news on Instagram and directed followers to the magazine and a campaign video.
The photoshoot took place in Los Angeles and was made by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. Mimi Cuttrell also styled the campaign. The campaign includes both close portraits and city and nature backdrops. This is a reunion of Hadid and Alo, since the model participated in the company's fall 2025 campaign.
According to Hadid, she has realized the importance of making room for herself as she got older. She believes that small rituals are an important part of taking care of her body. Summer Nacewicz, the executive vice president of marketing and creative of Alo, stated that Hadid is an example of someone who connects fashion, wellness, and culture and stays true to herself.
Criticism has been expressed on social media regarding Hadid's partnership with a company that works in Israel, considering it performative and inconsistent with her Palestinian heritage and support for Palestinians.

Lord's finally opened its doors to women's Test cricket last Friday, 142 years after the ground hosted its first men's Test in 1884. A parade of some 50 former England players rang the five-minute bell, and portraits of pioneers were unveiled in the Long Room beforehand.
The occasion demanded a performance worthy of it, and India duly delivered one. Harmanpreet Kaur's side seized control during the opening session and never once surrendered it, outplaying the hosts comprehensively across every discipline over four sun-drenched days in St John's Wood.
The result also carried enormous weight for England. They have not beaten India in a women's Test since 1995, and the manner of this thrashing, arriving five days after their T20 World Cup final heartbreak at the very same venue, made for a brutal fortnight.

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A 44-year-old Russian artist who has been critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin was shot and killed at close range near his home in the eastern Polish city of Biala Podlaska, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Two Belarusian citizens, aged 37 and 33, were arrested near the Belarusian Consulate after the killing on Monday, they said.
Polish media identified the victim as Robert Kuzovkov, while prosecutors named him only as Robert K., in accordance with Polish privacy laws. They said he was an artist who used the pseudonym Semyon Skrepetsky.
Through his art, he "expressed criticism of the current policies of the Russian authorities," the prosecutors said in a statement.
He painted unflattering portraits of Putin, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and other high-ranking Russian officials. One depicts Putin being cradled in the arms of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

Tavius Robinson found a new way to make an impact for the Baltimore Ravens, and this one had nothing to do with setting the edge or rushing the passer. The Ravens used the massive outside linebacker as a fake mannequin during Media Day, dressing him in one of the team's new uniforms and placing him in a position to surprise unsuspecting teammates and employees. Robinson stayed still long enough to blend into the setup before suddenly moving, creating some of the funniest and most startled reactions of the offseason.
Baltimore posted the video with the caption, "Tavius Robinson Pranks Teammates As Mannequin On Media Day," and the reactions quickly became the highlight. Trenton Simpson, Kyle Hamilton, and rookie edge rusher Mike Green were among the Ravens caught off guard by Robinson's commitment to the bit.
The setup worked because Robinson looked the part. At 6-foot-6 and 262 pounds, he already has the kind of frame that makes him stand out, and dressing him in full uniform as part of a display made the prank believable enough to fool teammates walking through the Media Day area. Once Robinson moved, the reactions ranged from startled jumps to laughter, with several players and staffers needing a moment to process that the mannequin was actually one of their teammates. Only the equally massive Calais Campbell and quarterback Lamar Jackson seemed unfazed by the prank.
The video also gave the Ravens a lighter offseason moment as the team continues mandatory minicamp and prepares for training camp later this summer. Media Day is typically centered on uniform shots, video content, player portraits, and promotional material, but Baltimore turned the setting into an opportunity to showcase personality inside the building.
Robinson's role in the prank also fits his growing presence on the roster. The Canadian edge defender is entering an important season for a Ravens defense that has added talent and competition around the pass rush. Baltimore has Trey Hendrickson, Mike Green, Adisa Isaac, Zion Young, Kaimon Rucker, and others in the edge group, making Robinson's summer one to watch as the team sorts through roles under defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.
Baltimore posted the video with the caption, "Tavius Robinson Pranks Teammates As Mannequin On Media Day," and the reactions quickly became the highlight. Trenton Simpson, Kyle Hamilton, and rookie edge rusher Mike Green were among the Ravens caught off guard by Robinson's commitment to the bit.
The setup worked because Robinson looked the part. At 6-foot-6 and 262 pounds, he already has the kind of frame that makes him stand out, and dressing him in full uniform as part of a display made the prank believable enough to fool teammates walking through the Media Day area. Once Robinson moved, the reactions ranged from startled jumps to laughter, with several players and staffers needing a moment to process that the mannequin was actually one of their teammates. Only the equally massive Calais Campbell and quarterback Lamar Jackson seemed unfazed by the prank.

A moving portrait of Spurs legend Tony Parker from Wednesday’s ESPN broadcast of Game 1 of the NBA Finals went viral after it appeared artificial intelligence had been used to alter his appearance. An ESPN spokesperson confirmed to Front Office Sports that AI had been used to create the image—along with two other moving portraits during the broadcast—and the network is “evaluating” whether it will continue to use the technology in Game 2. The concept of ESPN’s promotion was to bring iconic playoff images to life, the spokesperson says, and AI tools were used to create the material. The company views the use of the tech as “an experiment.”

Princess Lilibet isn't the first British royal to have been born in the U.S., but she is the only one among King Charles III's grandchildren. A California girl just like her mother, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle welcomed their daughter, nicknamed Lili, on June 4, 2021 at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, a week past her due date, as the **** ss of Sussex later revealed with her viral twerking video.
The Princess, born Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, was named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth, whose family nickname was Lilibet, and her late grandmother, Princess Diana. Meghan and Harry's second child is the youngest of King Charles' five grandchildren and currently seventh in line to the throne.
Unlike her big brother Prince Archie, who was born in London, Lilibet never lived in the UK. Her parents stepped back from royal duties in March 2020 and moved to California with their firstborn the year before Lili's birth.
Having been born in the United States, the first years of Princess Lilibet's life looked vastly different from her brother's. While she was christened at the Sussexes' home in Montecito at 21-months-old, Archie's christening took place in the private chapel at Windsor Castle. The intimate service was attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as his grandfather King Charles III, Queen Camilla and Princess Diana's sisters, Lady Jane Fellowes and Lady Sarah McCorquodale.
Official portraits, including one featuring his royal relatives, were released, showing Archie, then-two months, in the same christening gown previously worn by his older cousins, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. It is unlikely Lili wore the same gown to her christening in California, which was not attended by members of the royal family, though they were reportedly invited.
