Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul are celebrating Halloween by paying homage to fellow YouTubers.

On Wednesday, the couple took to social media with photos of themselves dressed as Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson. Mongeau channeled the makeup mogul in a pink tracksuit and matching bra, while Paul resembled Dawson in a gray robe and pig T-shirt.

On Twitter, Mongeau said they chose the costumes because Dawson and Star "saved" their careers.

While Jeffree Star has yet to comment on their outfits, Shane Dawson shared his thoughts on Instagram

"HIS EYES HAHAHAHA," Dawson wrote in the comments section of Mongeau's post.

Though Jake Paul has seemingly been planning his costume for a while, fans pointed out that he made one major mistake

On October 22, Paul tweeted that he was considering dressing as Dawson for Halloween.

"I think imma be Shane Dawson for Halloween," Paul wrote. "Thoughts? Send me inspiration for the outfit."

But after sharing photos of his final look, fans pointed out that Paul carried a regular Coca Cola instead of one of Dawson's favorite drinks: Diet A&W Root Beer or Diet Coke.

The four YouTubers have history

Back in June 2018, Dawson made YouTube history when he filmed a three-part series about Tanacon, a failed festival hosted by Mongeau. 

Dawson then made a series about Paul in September 2018, and tried to figure out whether or not the YouTuber is a sociopath.

In April 2018, Star also worked with Mongeau, and uploaded collaboration makeup tutorials to YouTube.

 

In July, Paul and Mongeau said got married and even livestreamed the wedding, though their marriage isn't legally binding. Still, the couple insists their relationship is real.

Dawson and Star also have a connection, as they've made various YouTube videos together and have created a new makeup line for Jeffree Star Cosmetics.

Representatives for Tana Mongeau and Jake Paul did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
