Genevieve Nnaji made a rare public appearance at Rita Dominic’s 50th birthday, and their emotional reunion gave fans a magical dose of classic Nollywood sisterhood.

Genevieve Nnaji laughing and hugging Rita Dominic at her 50th birthday party? Yeah, this one moment has Nollywood fans in their feelings—and for good reason. It wasn’t just a cute photo op. It was a full-blown love letter to old Nollywood, the era many of us grew up watching with wide eyes and big dreams.

Held in London with all the glitz you'd expect—metallic gowns, red carpet vibes, and a guest list full of industry royalty—Rita Dominic’s 50th birthday was already iconic. But then Genevieve Nnaji walked in and stole the show.

The actress, who’s kept an extremely low profile in recent years, stepped out in a rich burgundy outfit, rocking a soft afro and bold red lipstick. Minimalist. Classy. Effortless. A reminder that Genevieve has always been that girl.

And then came the moment that had the internet buzzing: Genevieve and Rita, wrapped in a heartfelt hug, both laughing like no time had passed. It was the kind of image that stops you mid-scroll—pure joy, sisterhood, and legacy all in one frame.

Rita looked every bit the birthday queen in a bronze-and-gold beaded gown that shimmered with every camera flash. But seeing the two of them together again? That was the real sparkle.

This wasn't just a party flick. It was a full-circle moment for anyone who remembers watching Sharon and Suzy run the Nollywood scene. It felt like catching up with your childhood faves who helped shape an entire generation of film and fashion in Nigeria.

One word? Iconic.
