Kerry Washington is gushing over her beautiful baby!

The super-private Scandal star stopped to chat with E! News on the 2014 Emmys Red Carpet where she revealed new details about Isabelle Amarachi Asomugha.

"My little girl is four months! She's fantastic," she gushed to Ross Mathews. "She's great. She's awesome!"

And how can you not notice the star's amazing post-baby body? While working an orange Prada dress, Washington revealed the secret to her weight loss.

Despite a jam-packed schedule that includes being a mother and shooting Scandal's new season, Washington was given the unique opportunity to meet President Barack Obama at a recent event.

"He's so kind. [Scandal creator] Shonda Rhimes had a wonderful fundraiser at her home that I co-hosted and he was there," she revealed to E! News. "He was being very kind and thanked us for being supportive of the Democratic Party."

Speaking of politics, Washington is returning to the White House on ABC's hit drama next month.

In addition to the fashion and political scandals, Washington teases an evolving relationship between Pope and Abby Whelan (Darby Stanchfield).

"There's a lot of Abby this season, which is really good because Abby and Olivia Pope have a very complicated relationship," she told E! News.  "That's going to be yummy."

We can't wait to watch Sept. 25 on ABC!
