Spago is a hot spot to be a fly on the wall, and last night proved no exception. The ritzy resto was a star-studded scene full of fashion's finest, Tinseltown's top talents and well-heeled folk, all to toast Vogue Italia editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani. Hosted by actress and former model Amber Valletta and celeb chef Wolfgang Puck, the Beverly Hills bash marked non profit org Dream for Future Africa Foundation's inaugural gala.

As for the guest list? Dressed-to-the-nines partygoers like burlesque beauty Dita von Teese snacked on fancy finger foods (tuna tartar, shrimp pizza and the like—it's Spago, after all), while boho blogger/actress Shiva Rose chatted it up with model Angela Lindvall.
