The Original “Apesh*t” Recreation

Tracee and Anthony first broke the internet with this look back in March 2020.

  • The Context: It was for a Season 6 episode of black-ish titled “Best Supporting Husband.”

  • The Details: Tracee nailed Beyoncé’s pink suit and high, crimped blonde ponytail, while Anthony donned the light blue suit and twists to match Jay-Z’s look from the “Apesh*t” music video.

  • The Pose: They perfectly mimicked the couple’s deadpan expression in front of the (studio-recreated) Mona Lisa.

Why is it Trending in 2026?

The image has resurfaced this week for a few reasons that have fans feeling nostalgic:

  1. The 12-Year Anniversary of black-ish: Fans are celebrating the legacy of the show (which premiered in 2014), and this remains one of the most shared “cultural reset” moments from its eight-season run.

  2. The “Relationship Goals” Meme: Even though they were only TV husband and wife, social media is using the photo to contrast the recent Cardi B and Stefon Diggs drama. People are posting the Tracee/Anthony Louvre photo with captions like, “We need this kind of unproblematic energy back in 2026.”

  3. Tracee’s “Timeless” Status: Tracee Ellis Ross recently went viral for a 2026 fashion gala look, leading fans to dig through her archives. When they rediscovered her “Beyoncé” transformation, it sparked a new wave of “she actually ate that” posts.

The Real-Life Friendship

Despite the “perfection” of the photo, Anthony Anderson famously revealed in a 2022 interview that Tracee actually “detested” him for about 10 years before they started filming black-ish (mostly because of a joke he made about her at an awards show in 2005).

The fact that they went from not speaking to recreating one of the most iconic photos in music history is what makes the “snap” even more impressive to fans today.
