Still Sexy At 78! 'I Dream Of Genie' Star Barbara Eden Rocks Her Iconic 60's Costume At Life Ball[VIDEO]

The "I Dream of Jeannie" costume was worn again by 78-year-old star Barbara Eden at the 21st Life Ball in Vienna Saturday. The costume on Eden looked as sexy today as it it did on the "I Dream of Genie" actress in the 60's.

Before Barbara walked the stage, the "Genie" star wore a long gold dress with a high slit and clutched a replica of the purple genie's bottle from "I Dream Of Genie." The TV legend still looked fabulous while baring her impressive midriff in the pink chiffon costume and tiny red velvet bolero on stage. The brave move was adored on stage as the 78-year-old looked identical to the character she played over 50 years ago.

Eden then reenacted her classic wish-conjuring arm and head nod alongside Bill Clinton and Fergie.  The "I Dream of Genie" icon even wore her signature ponytail as she entertained on stage. The Life Ball is billed as Europe's biggest charity event and raises money to promote HIV and AIDS awareness.

Barbara Eden spent five years and 139 episodes starring on "I Dream of Genie," which was a mild hit at the time, but became hugely popular during decades of syndication and the two spin-off reunion movies.

The first movie, named I Dream of Jeannie... Fifteen Years Later, appeared in 1985 and included all of the original cast outside of Larry Hagman, who played the role of astronaut Anthony "Tony" Nelson during the 1960′s sitcom.

The second film was named I Still Dream of Jeannie, which released in 1991. Ever since the most recent film, Eden has appeared in five movies, three television shows, and she also made a cameo in A Very Brady Sequel, a spin-off of another popular TV show which everyone's familiar with called The Brady Bunch.

Before appearing on Jeannie, the blond actress made appearances on I Love Lucy, Perry Mason, Gunsmoke, Father Knows Best, and The Andy Griffith Show.
