It’s September, which means only one thing: It’s time to figure out your Halloween costume! Of course, you should also take some time to enjoy autumn walks, pumpkin spice lattes and the falling of leaves—as long as you’ve already got a killer costume in the works.

If you’re still not sure what you’d like to masquerade as this year, never fear: We’ve rounded up some of the best celebrity costumes we’ve seen in recent years to help inspire you. From “Game of Thrones”-themed outfits to “Star Wars” characters to scary monsters, these Hollywood-approved Halloween costumes are on point.

1. Neil Patrick Harris’ Family’s “Star Wars” Costumes

How cute is this? Neil Patrick Harris, his husband, David Burtka, and their two kids donned costumes that turned them into characters Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker. Take a peek Harris’ costume-filled Halloween Instagram shot from 2015:

5. Beyoncé’s Salt-N-Pepa Costume

Beyoncé kept it in the family when she teamed up with her mom, Tina Knowles, and her daughter, Blue Ivy, to become the Salt-N-Pepa trio in 2016:

Feel like making a political statement with your costume? The election might be over, but you can still take a page out of Perry’s book from last year, when she dressed up as presidential candidate Hillary Clinton:
