Christopher Meloni has gone from investigating the especially heinous on primetime TV to wearing the especially fabulous in photoshoots over the weekend.
One brightly-colored summer outfit went viral and sparked a widespread obsession with the television star.
Meloni is pictured posing for a photo with Interview Magazine wearing a bright green tank top and blinding pink pants.
One fan simply said "Can't believe NONE of you are talking about this."

In the same shoot and accompanying article in Interview, Meloni openly accepted his role as "zaddy," a play on "daddy" that has come to mean a grown man who is fashionable and sexy.
"I've been called that a lot, and who am I to argue with it? Sure, I'm a zaddy," Meloni said.

Meloni recently returned to his role as Detective Elliot Stabler in the Law & Order universe on the newest spin off, Law & Order: Organized Crime.
He also drew acclaim for his role in Oz as bisexual serial killer Chris Keller.
So glad this absolutely legendary Daddy is getting his moment. Christopher Meloni can get it anytime.pic.twitter.com/5CndzZyyRG— Christian \ud83d\udde1\ufe0f\ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc1d (@Christian \ud83d\udde1\ufe0f\ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc1d) 1623701037

The thirst for Meloni as he ages like fine wine only gets greater and greater.
And as long as he keeps getting dressed in brilliant outfits, it will just keep going.
