Singer and metro Atlanta native Ciara and her family decided to make a statement about music royalty with their Halloween costumes, and her fans are going, well, let’s say crazy over it.

The “Level Up” singer shared a photo on her Instagram of her and husband Russell Wilson dressed as Beyoncé and Jay-Z from their “APES**T” music video. The image, shared Wednesday morning, shows the duo in a similar stance, donning mirroring fashion and hairstyles as the musical power couple with a similar backdrop as the music video, which was shot in front of Leonardo da Vinci’s "Mona Lisa" at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Jay & Bey

The caption for the Instagram post simply reads “Jay & Bey.” Fans have responded with comments and nearly 700,000 likes as of Wednesday morning. Gabrielle Union, who also drew fanfare for her “Bring it On” Halloween costume, responded with a number of hearts. Ciara’s fans, including user @jsolworld, responded with “Bodied this.”

Prior to Wednesday’s post, Ciara shared an adorable photo of her kids, Future and Sienna, dressed in a pink tuxedo and a matching pink gown and boa, respectively. Leaving no one to guess, Ciara captioned her Twitter post with photos of her kids with “The Jacksons.”

The kids recreated a moment from the 1970s when Janet Jackson and brother Randy performed as “The Littlest Jacksons.”

Some linked the Wilson kids' costumes to a different performance from a popular episode of "The Carol Burnett Show," in which the Jackson kids wore powder blue outfits and sang "Beat Goes On." Fans immediately gushed over the adorable recreation − no matter where they assumed the inspiration originated.

Future and Sienna’s Jackson family ode garnered more than 3,000 retweets and nearly 21,000 likes on Twitter by Wednesday morning.
