The actress was at the ceremony at LA's Microsoft Theater to present the award for Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series to Euphoria's Zendaya.

However, Mariska wasn't joined at the event by her husband, Peter Hermann. Instead, she had another famous date on her arm – her Law & Order co-star Christopher Meloni.

A second photo saw the duo enjoying a splash around in the sea, with Mariska wearing a long-sleeved one-piece with a rubber ring around her while also holding onto Peter's shoulders, as he floated in the water wearing just a pair of black swimming trunks.

Captioning the fun snaps, Mariska sweetly wrote: "Happy birthday to my guy. In it with you forever."

Mariska has been married to fellow actor Peter since 2004. The couple met on the set of Law and Order: SVU all the way back in 2001 when the actor guest-starred in the police procedural drama.
