Some red-carpet pairings you can predict. Sydney Sweeney and Christopher Meloni trading a giddy Emmys selfie wasn’t one of them. Seated near the Law & Order: SVU icon—whose series hits Season 27 on the 2025 TV schedule—at the 2025 Emmy ceremony, Sweeney did what any fan would: snapped the moment and shared it.
Sweeney posted the evidence on her Instagram Story, which you can see below, sharing a group selfie from inside the ceremony and writing, “If you know me you know how excited I was,” while tagging @chris_meloni and @therealmariskahargitay. The energy is peak “I just met my TV hero,” and the grin says it all.
