The YBF stars are lighting up ABC’s 2016 TCA Summer Tour in Beverly Hills. Come inside to see flicks of Tracee Ellis Ross, Regina King, Viola Davis, Anthony Davis, Yara Shahidi and more inside….
ABC’s leading YBF ladies and gentleman are lighting up the network’s TCA Summer Press Tour with some melanin inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Red carpet slayer Tracee Ellis Ross never disappoints. And this time was no different. The “black•ish” starlet stunned in a bright yellow SAFiYAA jumpsuit paired with Tamara Mellon heels and Alexis Bittar earrings designed by Jeremy Scott. The perfect summer look for a fun night out.
After hitting the scene at Comic Con and the Teen Choice Awards, “black•ish” dad Anthony Anderson got cleaned up to hit the carpet before taking his seat on the show's panel.
Then, the on-screen married couple snapped it up together:
Well aren't they cute.
One of our fave YBF teens was just as cute on the scene. Yara Shahidi was a breath of fresh air in a white lace top and black trousers. She threw in a pair of cheetah print flats for a little edge.
On-screen twins Miles Brown and Marsai Martin were their usual adorable selves all smiles on the carpet.
Hey Grandma Ruby! Actress Jenifer Lewis struck a pose for the photogs as she made her way down the carpet.
Inside...
The cast hit the panel to dish on what's to come in the upcoming third season.
During the panel, “black•ish” creator Kenya Barris opened up about diversity in Hollywood and he’s simply tired of talking about it.
“I will be so happy when diversity is not a word,” said Kenya.
When a reporter asked Kenya what percentage of black people were watching the show, he became a bit frustrated saying,
“It doesn’t matter who’s watching our show. The fact is that they’re watching it. And I feel like every question at every panel…These are amazing, talented actors and amazing writers who give their all and they don’t have to do this. It’s crowding the conversation.”
We agree.
If you haven’t heard, “black•ish” is up for three Primetime EMMY Awards this year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed they nab one…or all!
Before the cast and crew hit up the TCA Summer Tour, they've been busy at table reads and shooting scenes on the set for season 3. Peep the pics below:

Back on the carpet...
Annalise Keating is in the building! “How To Get Away With Murder” professor Viola Davis is pulling double duty. Not only is she putting in promo work for her hit ABC show, she has also been heavy on the promo scene for DC Comics’ Suicide Squad (which hits theaters today).
Viola’s sexy co-stars Alfred Enoch and Billy Brown were also in the mix.
Get ready for all of the craziness that occurs on “HTGAWM” when a new season returns Thursday, September 22nd at 10/9c. Oh, and get this, since "Scandal" has been pushed back for a 2017 return, this season's Thursday night shows will NOT have the "TGIT" label attached to it. Interesting.
YAS! EMMY winner Regina King slayed the event in a plunging black high-slit gown topping it off with a fresh set of cornrows. #BlackGirlMagic
She's gearing up for a new role on the anthology series "American Crime," that will premiere sometime in 2017. Oh, and the show is also up for four Primetime EMMY Awards.
"Dr. Ken" star Tisha Campbell hit up the event to chat about the new season of her show. "Dr. Ken" will return Friday, September 23rd at 8:30/7:30c.
Actor Jason George will be returning for a new season of "Grey's Anatomy." The medical drama will be premiere Thursday, September 22 at 8/7c.
“Grey’s Anatomy” actress Chandra Wilson was also in the mix.
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey looked gorgeous as she posed it up alongside actor Kiefer Sutherland.
While “Scandal” won’t be returning this fall, the cast IS back on the set gearing up for production. Peep a few of their behind-the scenes flicks below:
The "Grey's Anatomy" cast is also back on set for their 13th season:
Get ready!
