How to use selector attribute with pseudo elements?

I have a number of CSS categories1-n and I have the following code to assign attributes to all of them: [class*="parentcategory"] { float: left; }

Now some of them also have pseudo elements of ::before and ::after, .e.g .parentcategory1::before and I struggle to assign attributes generally to all of these because I have the category number between "parentcategory" and e.g. "::before"

Is there a way to solve this?

Many thanks

David

Seems to work just fine like so. Any issues with this?

[class*="parentcategory"] {
  color: red;
}

[class*="parentcategory"]::before {
  color: black;
  content: '::before';
}
<div class="parentcategory1">
  parentcategory1
</div>

<div class="parentcategory2">
  parentcategory2
</div>
