The actress attended the event with her longtime husband Peter Hermann, who she met on the set of SVU in 2001 when he guest starred as defense attorney Trevor Langan.
As they posed for photos together, Hermann gazed adoringly at his spouse and wrapped his arm around her waist.
The Younger star, 56, looked handsome in a white dress shirt, black pants and a coordinating jacket.
Hargitay best friend, Alexandra Wentworth, also showed her support for her pal at the event as she gave her a big hug on the red carpet.
Back in 2019, Wentworth made a cameo on the performer’s show.
Meloni, who portrayed her former onscreen partner, Elliot Stabler, at the Special Victims Unit for over 12 years, and his wife, Doris Sherman Williams, were among the attendees.
The actor, 62, wore a three-piece suit, patterned tie and loafers while his spouse, 63, rocked a semi-sheer floral blouse and pants.

Last week, Hargitay told People that she was ‘proud’ of her show’s success and ‘grateful’ to the fans.
In her latest interview, she offered a glowing appraisal of the way the of the series helped her embrace her ‘power’ as a woman.
‘I can’t imagine the show ending, and can’t imagine not going on this journey with my cast, my crew,’ she said. ‘I have so much to look forward to.’
Mariska, whose mother was the legendary 1950s pinup Jayne Mansfield, played second fiddle on the show for the first decade.
From 1999 until 2011, the leading man on the program was Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, with Mariska offering support as Olivia Benson.
‘I was the second detective alongside Elliot Stabler. He was the male lead and a little more experienced and I was trying to catch up,’ she reflected.
Then, however, Christopher Meloni left the program in 2011 and Mariska was left to become the lead character on the program.
Life imitated art, as around that same time her character Olivia Benson was getting promoted, eventually ascending to the position of squad captain.
Mariska and her character have, she says, ‘been on a parallel journey. There’s a thing WWOBD, what would Olivia Benson do?’
She said: ‘The fans would always talk about it, and one day it hit me. I also have those moments where I’ve sort of slipped into her.’
The showbiz legacy added: ‘If there’s a crisis, I just take over and lead like that. Being strong and fearless. It’s sort of this perfect feminist story.’
