The proud and expecting mom Vanessa Minillo out on display her baby bump at a red carpet down under for the opening of Marquee at the Star in Sydney, Australia.

The star donned on a short white flowy dress that covered her baby bump just enough for it to show.

The star was accompanied with the proud first dad to be Nick Lachey.

After the party the couple retreated to their hotel and tweeted a make-up free photo of herself saying, “Had sooo much fun at @TheStarSydney for the opening of @MarqueeSydney!!! Now it’s time for booty in bed!…”

The gorgeous Vanessa Lachey (formerly Vanessa Minnillo) was out to shop at Best Buy last Wednesday with her ever growing baby bump.

The TV host hid her baby bump under a heather-gray tank dress to go along with her light denim jacket and black sandals outfit ensemble.

The baby would be the 1st for both her and husband Nick Lachey.

Nick Lachey announced in the morning show “Live! With Kelly” that he and her wife, the beautiful Vanessa Lachey, formerly known as Vanessa Minnillo are expecting their first child.

Nick who tied the knot with Vanessa in July 2011 said in the morning show, “I’ve had a chance to do a lot of great things in my career and my life but this is the one thing that, more than any other, I look forward to,” Nick said this morning. “The fact that it’s actually here, it’s overwhelming.”

The lovely couple are so looking forward to knowing the sex of the baby already as Nick further added, “We definitely want to know. I can’t take the knowledge that someone out there knows, but I don’t know. It’s like watching a sports game on TiVo.”

Well, we all sure want to know the sex of the baby too, and congrats!
