Watch: How Ginnifer Goodwin Balances Work and Baby Oliver

Welcome back to the red carpet, Ginnifer Goodwin!

The star shined brighter than ever when she attended the Once Upon a Time premiere at Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre. Goodwin paired a Marni Fall 2014 top with a black floral jacquard skirt from the label's Pre-Fall 2014 collection. She accessorized with a Marni belt, a clutch and Christian Louboutin pumps. The outing marked the first time Goodwin made an official public appearance since before she gave birth in May.

Other cast members who attended included Robert Caryle, JoAnna García Swisher, Jared S. Gilmore, Elizabeth Lail, Bailee Madison, Jennifer Morrison, Colin O'Donoghue, Lana Parrilla and Jessy Schram.

Though they began filming the fourth season of their hit ABC series in July, Goodwin and her husband, Josh Dallas, spent most of their summer bonding with son Oliver, who was born at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. "We are in LOVE!" Dallas, 32, tweeted after his son's arrival. "He's our favorite person."

Goodwin, 36, agreed that Oliver is her "favorite human being." Dallas doesn't mind being in second place, however. "I keep apologizing to Josh: 'You were my favorite human being," she said. "He's magic. I'm madly in love. It's the kind of love I didn't know I could experience—which everybody told me would be the case, but then it happens and you're like, 'Oh, that's for real!'"

And yes, it's true that little Oliver has his own Star Wars-themed trailer on the lot. "I have to see him every couple hours. We are in a very, very fortuitous position that we can bring our kid to work," Goodwin confessed.

The stars have not shared a picture of their son with the public, but there's no doubt Oliver inherited his parents' good looks. "Everybody says he's a blend, but I of course see Josh," Goodwin said of Dallas' mini-me. While he may look like a future TV star, if his parents get their way, Oliver won't follow in their famous footsteps. "We are going to gently nudge him in any direction but acting," Goodwin joked.

Once Upon a Time returns Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
