The White Lotus actress, 40, flaunted her sensational figure in the daring ensemble, which featured lace details.
With her luxuriously wavy hair down, the Parks and Recreation alum accentuated her luminous complexion with makeup.

Joan was associated with God’s Love We Deliver from its early years in the 1980s in New York, when the charity brought meals to people dying of AIDS.
She was one of the first stars to support AIDS research as a cause, before she became associated with Elizabeth Taylor.
As the years have passed, God’s Love We Deliver expanded its remit beyond HIV/AIDS and now provides meals to thousands of people who are homebound due to illness.
Joan spent part of each Thanksgiving personally delivering food to the sick for the charity, as seen in the 2010 documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece Of Work.
He died a little over a decade ago, on September 4, 2014, after suffering complications from a routine endoscopy.
Many names attended the gala, including former Real Housewives Of New York City star Luann De Lesseps, showing off her abs in a flesh-revealing PVC cocktail dress.
Luann enjoyed a warm moment with influencer Randy Rainbow, who in recent years has become known for comedy songs with a left-wing political bent.
Several famous comedians made their presence felt on the red carpet, where Tiffany Haddish could be seen mingling with Nikki Glaser.
