Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji was recently sighted at an event after a video of her walking gracefully to the venue surfaced online.

In the trending video, the veteran moviemaker, who is rarely seen at social functions, was all smiles as she catwalked to her destination. She wore a long, flowing, off-shoulder cream agbaya paired with matching heels.

Nnaji was seen waving and smiling at people while walking carefully across a sand-filled area.

She accessorised her look with bold jewellery on her ears and wrist, and completed the outfit with a stylish blue purse. At one point, she blew kisses and murmured a few words to some admirers.
