Kim & Kanye We're Ready for Our Close-Up

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian made their first public outing together in several months, and they were obviously on a mission.

Kimye did dinner Sunday night at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. We haven't seen them go out together since before the armed robbery in Paris, back in October. Kim's sticking to the un-glammed look she vowed to adopt ... other than the fur coat.

Interestingly, she wasn't wearing any huge gems either, including diamond rings -- just a simple wedding band.

But they definitely wanted to be seen, since they know Giorgio Baldi is a hot spot with paparazzi. There have been rumors about their marriage being on the rocks -- which our sources say is BS.

Seems they want to make sure everyone gets the message: We're all good.
