With her growing baby bump on full display, Halle Berry stepped out for a midday Mother's Day celebration in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

Wearing flip-flops and a sleek purple halter dress set off by long metallic chain necklaces, Berry, 46, joined daughter Nahla, 5, and fiancé Olivier Martinez, 47, for a casual lunch date at Riva Bella restaurant.

Berry, who confirmed her pregnancy in April, said that Mother's Day is a fun holiday for her because she doesn't have to do the party planning.

Even pregnant with her second child – and with a wedding in the works – Halle Berry has admitted that she has no plans to slow down or take time off from work, which is probably why Sunday's holiday will be particularly gratifying.

"What I love about Mother's Day is Mom doesn't have to plan it," Berry tells reporters before hosting the 20th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women.

That means fiancé Olivier Martinez and daughter Nahla Ariela, 5, are in planning mode. And the actress couldn't be any happier about the role reversal.

The gifts will come pouring in soon enough. But the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's unborn child has already received one very special present indeed – a lullaby specially written for the baby by a respected British composer and recorded by a New Zealand soprano.

Paul Mealor, who wrote music for Prince William and Kate's royal wedding, has penned a tune called "Sleep On" as a gift to the baby, due in July. It will appear on Hayley Westenra's upcoming lullaby album Hushabye, set for release in the U.K. on June 17.



"After writing music for the royal wedding, it seemed natural to provide the musical accompaniment for the next stage of the royal couple's journey together," Mealor, 37, told the British press.
