The "Rossa e la Notte", a pre-F1 Ferrari party held last month at Avalon, Marina Bay Sands was a celebrity-studded celebration which lasted well into night.

Hosted by Ital Auto and Ferrari, the event on Sept 22 saw more than 500 people in attendance, many of them Ferrari fans who drove their supercars to the venue.

Spotted among the well-heeled guest list were also famous names like television celebrity chef Bobby Chin and fashion model Sonia Couling.

The party kicked off at 7pm with guests being treated to champagne while they nibbled on canapés like Wagyu beef puffs, Alaskan king crab in pastry shells, passionfruit jelly bon-bons and more.

The evening's festive mood was brought to a climax when newly crowned Miss Universe 2011 Leila Lopes and members of Scuderia Ferrari were introduced on stage by Teo Hock Seng, Managing Director of Ital Auto Private Limited and Simon Inglefield, Head of Ferrari APAC.

Ferrari F1 driver, Fernando Alonso also made a late guest appearance at the party.
