Last night in Los Angeles, Advertising Age and Creativity teamed with Droga5 and WME to host a celebration toasting the honorees of the 2014 Creativity 50 as well as some of the alumni of C50s past. Held at the Millwick in downtown L.A., some of the most creative minds got a chance to mingle over an intimate dinner in a mild and pleasant clime (a nice switch from the snowbound Ad Age Agency A-List party earlier in the week).

Check out scenes from the dinner below. All photos are by Jeff Lewis/AP.
