Think simple!
Fortunatissima
… is the easiest answer. Valde fortunata is also correct, and maxime fortunata as well.

1I think "Beatus -a -um" also works very appropriately -- "Beatissima" perhaps. – Nickimite Sep 10 '20 at 19:20

2@Nickimite I recommend giving that as a separate answer, describing the meaning of the two adjectives (or at least beatus). I have an upvote waiting with your name on it. (+1 also to this answer.) – Joonas Ilmavirta♦ Sep 10 '20 at 19:23
A wall inscription from Pompeii: "phoenix felix et tu" = "The phoenix is fortunate/ happy and you (too).". Alternatively, "Be as fortunate/ happy as the phoenix.".
In Latin the phrase "et tu" has fold-back quality: "and you too". In contemporary English a response to a greeting could be: "And you (too).".
