She left audiences absolutely wowed in a figure-hugging gown that featured a slit which allowed her to show off her toned legs.

The look even had some extravagant detailing around the top, two bedazzled pieces that draped down from her shoulders to her hips to create a plunging V-neck that showed off her tanned physique.

The premiere marks a happy return to work for Carrie, who's had a tough few months full of struggle, which she recapped in a post she shared on her Instagram recently.

She began, "Six months ago, I got a wake up call. My body has shut down. I couldn’t go into work. As a dancer, I’ve always pushed through my pain, no matter the cost. Well, it got expensive. And I could no longer afford to pay that price. I had to stop. I had to change course. And I did."

Carrie also touched on "understanding my own depression and my own mental health" and the difficult decision to "step away from a job I loved" in order for her to take care of herself, all during the pandemic.

Thankfully, six months later after "building a new life", Carrie is now feeling well. She wrote, "I would not give up… and though I lost a few things along the way, I have my life back. And I'm beyond grateful."
