Proud parents-to-be Nick and Vanessa Lachey stepped out to celebrate the opening of Marquee, The Star, Sydney in Sydney Australia Thursday night.

In their first red carpet appearance together since Nick, 37, announced in early March that he and his wife of 8 months are expecting their first child, the happily married pair were dressed to the nines and beaming non-stop at the star-studded event. (Ashlee Simpson, Joe Jonas, Kellan Lutz, Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly were also in attendance.)
