The actress showed off her A-list credentials at the event held at The Gstaad Palace Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland, in the stunning black dress, which fell below her knees.

While the sleeves were long-sleeved, they were sheer and also featured the same silver detail.
Charity matters: Carey is an ambassador the Alzheimer's Society, which is why she attended the event in Switzerland.

The look was completed with a pair of cross-over strap heels and a small black dress.
