Mariska Hargitay's hairstyle on January 28, 2007, features caramel highlights interspersed within her natural dark brunette color, parted to the side with wispy fringes. The back of her hair is styled in a subtle twist, possibly in a figure-eight shape or a small chignon positioned at the center of her head.
 
To achieve a similar twist hairstyle:
 
1. Gather your hair towards the center and hold it with one hand.
 
2. Secure the gathered hair with vertical pins placed up and down the center.
 
3. Fold the remaining hair under, using the pins to secure it tightly without them being visible.
 
4. Smooth the hairstyle with your hand and apply hairspray for hold.
 
5. Use a pin to loosen strands on each side to create soft tendrils.
 
6. Smooth any stray hair over your forehead in the desired direction and secure with hairspray. If necessary, use a flat iron to straighten.
 
This method will help recreate Mariska's elegant and sophisticated look from that event.
