Last night, Washington D.C. was poppin’ with pre-parties ahead of the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, set to go down this evening. Peep the party pics of Tracee Ellis Ross, John Legend, Laverne Cox, Tamron Hall and many more inside….

Washington D.C. was surely the place to be last night as there were many parties and events going on around the city ahead of the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner (aka "Nerd Prom"), which goes down tonight. Many YBF folks were on the party scene, popping up at multiple events.

“black•ish” star Tracee Ellis Ross was among one of the guests at Time and People’s annual cocktail party for the White House Correspondents' Weekend at St Regis Hotel in D.C. Looks like Tracee left T-Murda at home for the night’s festivities. Ha! She posed it up alongside Oprah’s bestie Gayle King.
