Vanessa Minnillo is an Inspiration

Looking quite elegant, Vanessa Minnillo was on-hand for the 6th Annual Inspiration Awards held at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on Friday (June 5).

The former Miss Teen USA posed for event photographers as she joined a guest list including Marcia Cross, Tori Spelling and Stacy Keibler.

Meanwhile, Vanessa’s hunky beau Nick Lachey was spotted arriving back in Los Angeles via Los Angeles International Airport earlier today.

Accompanied by his family, the former 98 Degrees singer refused to answer questions from photographers, heading straight to baggage claim as he chatted on his cell phone.

As for Nick and Vanessa’s relationship, Miss Minnillo recently hinted that an engagement may be nearing, as she pointed to a five karat diamond on her hand, saying, “It will be 10 carats when it moves to the fourth finger!”

Minnillo adds, “This romance is still going strong. There will always be rumblings and rumors that we’ve broken up, but in fact, it’s very much still on—and it keeps on getting better. ... Maybe this will be the one time I wind up the bride instead of the bridesmaid!”
