So when it comes to Halloween, it’s no surprise that Queen Bey reigns supreme — and this year, her look included her daughter Blue Ivy and her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson in what might be the most epic group costume of all time. The three generations of Knowles women went into full-on ’80s throwback mode with an homage to Salt, Pepa and DJ Spinderella of Salt-N-Pepa. The costumes were perfect for any old school hip hop fan down to the accessories, with [Beyoncé](http://time.com/70716/beyonce-2014-time-100/) rocking a Casio watch, an MCM fanny pack, gold sneakers and bamboo earrings along with her red spandex bodysuit and Dapper Dan-esque jacket. Jay Z even makes an appearance in his own ’80s-inspired look, complete with a dookie chain and a leather bomber jacket. Talk about group costume goals! See the three flawless ladies below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4551352/beyonce-blue-ivy-tina-knowles-salt-n-pepa-halloween-costume/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4551352/beyonce-blue-ivy-tina-knowles-salt-n-pepa-halloween-costume/"},"headline":"Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Dressed Up as Salt-N-Pepa for Halloween and It Was Epic","datePublished":"2016-10-31T14:58:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:38:11.629Z","description":"Three generations of flawless, one great costume","url":"https://time.com/4551352/beyonce-blue-ivy-tina-knowles-salt-n-pepa-halloween-costume/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Beyonce","Jay-z","Holidays","celebrity","Culture","halloween"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4551352/beyonce-blue-ivy-tina-knowles-salt-n-pepa-halloween-costume/","name":"Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Dressed Up as Salt-N-Pepa for Halloween and It Was Epic"}}]}] ```
