mignon, mignonne
cute
Le bébé est très mignon quand il sourit.
The baby is very cute when he smiles.
ATTENTION!
Much like in English, take care in the way mignon(ne) is used. If used in the wrong context, someone might not be flattered to be called cute. A baby might be cute, while a girlfriend in her beautiful new dress might be better described as jolie or belle — pretty or beautiful.
