Jennifer Garner showed up to host a charity fundraiser in New York Tuesday night wearing a figure-hugging black gown that flattered her stunning figure.

The actress, who’s estranged from husband Ben Affleck, revealed her toned arms and taut tummy in the Michael Kors dress that had a transparent slit down the front between her cleavage.

With her long hair loose in voluminous curls and wearing enormous diamond earrings from David Webb Jewels, the actress, 43, looked picture perfect as she posed for photos at the Save The Children Gala.
