Mariska Hargitay Sends Fans Sweet Message While Braving Cold ‘SVU’ Set in NYC

The actress was snapped in a few photos while filming the long-running series.

Mariska Hargitay may have been cold while filming a recent outdoor scene of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but not too cold to spread a little love.

The actress—who has appeared in the long-running police procedural since its inception in 1999—was spotted on set while working in frigid New York City weather on Valentine’s Day, Wednesday, Feb. 14.

Hargitay was all bundled up in a dark-colored outfit from head-to-toe, wearing black pants and boots paired with a knee-length coat, leather gloves, and a beanie for headwear. According to the forecast, temperatures were in the high 20s–low 30s that day, making for quite the chilly work environment.

But even in the crisp, icy winter air, the mom of three was still sure to make the day count and share a love-filled message while being caught on camera by photographers.

In a few snaps, the newly-minted 60-year-old seemingly put her hands up into a heart gesture, while shooting a wide-toothed smile straight at the camera.
