Mariska Hargitay’s son August Hermann became one of the sweetest celebrity moments at the New York Knicks championship parade.
The “Law & Order: SVU” star attended the Knicks’ historic celebration in Lower Manhattan with her son as the city honored the team’s first NBA championship in 53 years.
August wore a playful Knicks-themed shirt that blended his mother’s famous name with the team’s name. The pun quickly caught attention online, with fans praising the funny and affectionate tribute.
Hargitay also leaned fully into the Knicks celebration with her own custom shirt. Her top referenced her Broadway show “Every Brilliant Thing” and Knicks star Jalen Brunson, whose jersey number is 11.
The mother-son moment stood out during a parade filled with celebrities, athletes and lifelong Knicks fans. Hargitay and August were seen celebrating on or near Brunson’s float as the Knicks moved through the Canyon of Heroes.
Hargitay has been one of the most visible celebrity Knicks supporters throughout the team’s championship run. She attended multiple NBA Finals games at Madison Square Garden and repeatedly showed off custom Knicks-inspired outfits.
Her courtside style became part of the Knicks’ playoff story, especially after she wore themed shirts during the Finals and celebrated the team’s dramatic Game 4 win.
The parade brought out several famous Knicks fans, including Spike Lee, Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan and other New York celebrities.
But August’s shirt added a personal family touch to the star-studded celebration. Instead of simply wearing team gear, he turned his outfit into a loving joke about his mom and her Knicks fandom.
The moment was light, funny and very New York — exactly the kind of playful fashion that defined the Knicks’ championship parade.
