Barbara, 92, donned a striped sweater, a pair of black slacks, and open-toed heels for the event.

Her light blonde hair was styled into front bangs that hung right above her eyes, similar to how her character, Jeannie, wore them in the Sidney Sheldon-created NBC comedy.

Barbara, who appears to be aging in slow motion, showed off her timeless beauty as she smiled at photographers while standing beside props from the show.

The actress starred in the fantasy sitcom from 1965 until 1970.

In April, Barbara shared a special tribute to her iconic role in a photo as she recreated her genie pose for an advertisement.

The Harper Valley PTA star was photographed while promoting luxury real estate agent Marcel Remus at the Cathedral of Palma in Mallorca, Spain.

She showed off her ageless beauty in a white blazer covered in colorful tulips.

Barbara paired the look with a white undershirt, white trousers, silver sparkly hoops, and a diamond heart necklace.

The sitcom star wore her signature blonde hair styled in curls with bangs and sported full glam makeup for the occasion.

She was pictured with her arms crossed as if ready to use her genie powers as she recreated the famous pose from I Dream of Jeannie.

BORN TO BE A STAR

Barbara was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1931 before moving to San Francisco after her parent’s divorce.

In California, she began to pursue performance, singing in choirs, for local bands, in nightclubs, and at various music schools.

After graduating from high school in 1949, she studied theater for one year before earning her title as Miss San Francisco and going on to compete for Miss California.

Barbara made her big TV debut on The Johnny Carson Show in 1955, then appeared in countless shows over the next two years – including I Love Lucy, Gunsmoke, and How to Marry a Millionaire, before signing a contract with 20th Century Fox.

During her time with the studio, she was featured in several films opposite other Hollywood staples including Flaming Star with Elvis Presley.

After leaving Fox, she acted in productions by MGM, Universal, and Columbia.

I DREAM OF JEANNIE

Barbara was scouted from her role in the 1964 film The Brass Bottle by producer Sidney Sheldon who cast her to star in his NBC sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie.

I DREAM OF JEANNIE SPIN-OFFS

The hit sitcom I Dream of Jeannie spawned two spin-off TV movies

The original series starred Barbara Eden as a beautiful, 2,000-year-old genie and Larry Hagman as Tony Nelson, the astronaut who finds her genie bottle while on a mission and releases her.

The popular NBC series ran for five seasons, a total of 139 episodes, from September 18, 1965, to May 26, 1970.

On October 20, 1985, Barbara reprised her role as Jeannie in the made-for-TV reunion movie, I Dream of Jeannie… Fifteen Years Later.

Bill Daily returned as Tony’s fellow astronaut and best friend Roger Healy, as did Hayden Rorke as NASA psychiatrist Dr. Alfred Bellows.

Larry Hagman did not return.

I Still Dream of Jeannie premiered on NBC on October 20, 1991.

Barbara again returned to the character that made her famous, as did Bill Daily, while Larry was again unavailable to return.

Eden played a beautiful genie set free from her bottle by astronaut Anthony (Tony) Nelson, portrayed by Larry Hagman.

The actress appeared in the sitcom for all five years and 139 episodes.

After I Dream of Jeannie wrapped, Barbara starred in several musical comedies and TV movies.

In 2011, the Hollywood icon published her memoir, Jeannie Out of the Bottle, which debuted at number 14 on the New York Times Best Seller list.
