It’s been more than four months since actress Amy Adams gave birth to her first child, daughter Aviana Olea, and so far, she’s been flying under the radar.

But Thursday, the Julie & Julia star stepped out at Variety‘s second-annual Power of Women Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel — and she looked stunning!

Dressed in a one-shouldered pink Roland Mouret cocktail dress and accessorized with Irit Design earrings, the new mama was all smiles.

She even gushed to PEOPLE a bit about her 4½-month-old cutie.

Recently, “I walked out the door and she smiled, and then she woke up, and that was pretty adorable,” she said. “Everything she does is adorable to me.”

He outwitted, outplayed and outlasted everyone to win Survivor: Cook Islands in 2006, then joined the FCC last year as the deputy chief of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau. Now Yul Kwon adds another illustrious title to his resume: dad.

Kwon’s wife Sophie, 32, gave birth to their first child, daughter Genevie Kwon, on Friday, Oct. 1 at a Virginia hospital, the Survivor star tells PEOPLE.

Genevie weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz., and measured 21½ inches long.

“We’ve already signed her up for golfing lessons to become the next Michelle Wie,” Kwon, 35, joked in an announcement to family and friends.

“Of course, we plan to encourage her to follow her own path so long as it doesn’t involve dating older men or going on reality shows.”

While celebrating World Smile Day in Orlando on Friday, the person with the biggest smile was definitely Bachelor Pad host Melissa Rycroft.

“We know the sex of our baby,” she says happily, although she and her husband Tye Strickland are keeping it a secret. “We can now narrow down the names to just one gender.”

With that question answered, Rycroft, who’s due in February, is enjoying a very easy pregnancy.

“Pregnant cravings are the one thing that I really want to experience,” she says, “and I’m not. My doctor says sometimes people don’t get to experience it. I have no cravings, no aversions, smells don’t bother me, no morning sickness, none of that. I’ve really gotten lucky. Not even heartburn.”
