Bárbara, 92, wore a striped sweater, black pants and open heels for the event.

Her light blonde hair was styled with front bangs that fell just above her eyes, similar to how her character, Jeannie, wore them on the NBC sitcom created by Sidney Sheldon.

Bárbara, who appears to be aging in slow motion, showed off her timeless beauty as she smiled for photographers alongside parade props.

The actress starred in the fantasy comedy from 1965 to 1970.

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

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

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