While the party itself was low-key, the A-list guests in attendance made her night one to remember. Shriver was joined by many of her celebrity pals, including Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Stevie Wonder, Rob Lowe and Sean Hayes.

An eyewitness tells ET that although ex-husbandArnold Schwarzenegger wasn't there, three of their four kids together -- Katherine, 25, Patrick, 22, and Christopher, 18 -- were present. Inside the party, guests were treated to appetizers, cupcakes displaying vintage photos of Shriver and a photo booth, according to the source. 

Later in the night, Wonder took the stage with his house band to honor Shriver by singing "Happy Birthday" and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours." Winfrey snapped a photo from the special moment, sharing it with fans on Instagram following the party.
