The ICON MANN dinner was originally created by industry executive Tamara Houston to celebrate the accomplishments of black men who have worked in the motion picture industry, both in front of the camera and behind the camera.

The seating in the dining area was designed to form an plush oversize "X," representing the greeting shown throughout the hit movie "Black Panther."

The opulent tablescapes used a range of burgundy floral arrangements with gold accents and candlelight to accent the custom velvet table linen.

Flowers were provided by Autumn Vine Design, Eddie Zaratsian and Ron Carter.

Superstar actress Halle Berry said, "There is so much beauty and elegance in this room, this is awesome.”
