Adorable Villainous Cartoon Costumes

This Despicable Me Minion Costume is Perfect for Halloween

This Despicable Me Minion Costume transforms one of the mischievous yellow characters from the animated film into a cute Halloween outfit.

With the release of 'Despicable Me 2' earlier this year, this Despicable Me Minion Halloween Costume is a fun one. The costume represents a human version of a Minion, rather than one of the round-headed adorable cartoons from the film. Still, the use of specific colors and a few props help to recreate the look quite easily, which makes it recognizable as well as an easy DIY Halloween costume that you could put together yourself.

The ensemble is made up of a a few simple components: a plain yellow long-sleeve shirt, an overall skirt with a small black logo on it, goggles, a yellow headband as well as black gloves and knee socks.
