IFP/LA exec director Dawn Hudson joins Lawrence Bender at Friday's bash.

On Friday night, Miu Miu on Melrose was transformed into a shopaholic's dream, complete with hors d'oeuvres, free-flowing alcohol and stars.

Cocktail guests loaded up on Prada and wrote it all off as a charitable deduction to support the IFP/LA Film Labs.

Most of the recognizable faces made cameo appearances, with Adrien Brody, Asia Argento, Amanda Peet, Dylan McDermott, Laura Harring and Jeremy Sisto among those spotted in the crowd.
