For the occasion, Carey chose a strapless Schiaparelli dress with a draped bodice and floor-length train. The fitted bustier of her dress was made from ecru satin and black velvet and featured a half-moon neckline. Diamond-encrusted jewelry, including a statement necklace, earrings and bracelets, completed her look.

The singer wore her honey blonde locks in waves with side bangs, while her makeup consisted of bronze eyeshadow, coral blush and a glossy nude lip.
