Carbon Costume

Poppy Prescott is a character from the new Despicable Me: 4 and voiced by Joey King. Poppy is a new character introduced in this movie, and is the new neighbor of Gru and his family. She has dreams of being a supervillain.

To dress like Poppy in her regular clothing, wear a pink jacket and a pink and white skirt, paired with white socks with pink stripes. For her ‘supervillain’ costume, wear a black and pink jacket, a black and pink skirt, white socks with pink stripes, pink sneakers, white fingerless long gloves, a black beanie and silver goggles over it. Also wear a costume utility belt, which you can paint white with paint such as acrylic paint to match.

Poppy Starfield (voiced by Joey King) is a supporting character in Despicable Me 4.  An aspiring supervillain and fan of Gru‘s work, Poppy finds herself able to team up with her idol after they become neighbors.  Poppy has long, wild, red hair which she wears loose under an aviator cap with goggles.  Her outfit comprises a black and pink top and skirt over bike shorts.  She also wears a white belt, white fingerless gloves, and bright pink high tops.  If you can’t find an exact match for her jacket, look for one with similar colors and a full zip front.

Miss Hattie (voiced by Kristen Wiig) is a minor antagonist in the Illumination film Despicable Me.  She is the cruel operator of Miss Hattie’s Home for Girls where Margo, Edith, and Agnes live before they are adopted by Gru.  Miss Hattie has brown hair and wears a pink cardigan with a red plaid skirt.  The ruffled collar of her blouse sticks out over the collar of her sweater, and she wears a red gem brooch at her throat.  Complete your costume with a coiffed wig, sheer stockings, and red shoes.

Belle Bottom (voiced by Taraji P. Henson) is the disco-themed supervillain in Minions: Rise of Gru.  Belle is a member of the Vicious 6, which a young Gru desperately wishes to be part of.  However, she dashes his dreams when she tells him that villainy is for adults and not children, which leads him to steal the Zodiac Stone from her.  Belle’s costume is a throwback to the ’70s, with a purple jumpsuit and platform shoes, a big afro hairstyle, and gold jewelry.  Finding her long purple leopard print coat with bright pink trim is almost impossible, so don’t be afraid to find a robe or coat that evokes a similar feel even if it isn’t a perfect match.

In Minions: The Rise of Gru, Wild Knuckles (voiced by Alan Arkin) is the former leader of the supervillain group Vicious 6. After the group double-crosses him, he recruits a young Gru as his henchman. Despite his gruff and grizzled biker exterior, he has a soft spot for Gru and the Minions.

In Minions: The Rise of Gru, Nun-Chuck (voiced by Lucy Lawless) is a member of the supervillain collection Vicious 6. She’s dressed as a nun in a black and white habit, and skillfully wields her weapon of choice, a pair of nunchucks that she often holds in the shape of a cross. She also has the power to levitate as a light shines down on her from above.

In Minions: The Rise of Gru, Jean Clawed (voiced by Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a french supervillain who is a member of the Vicious 6. He has the look of a typical French man. That is, aside from the giant robotic lobster claw for a right arm that he can use to crush stone and steel.

Mr. Perkins (voice by Will Arnett) is the main villain of Despicable Me. He makes an appearance as a minor antagonist in Minions. Unlike most cartoon villains he keeps a cool head. But he is otherwise the epitome of cartoon evil. He even runs the Bank of Evil. You can’t get much more, well, evil than that.

It is surprisingly easy to dress as this villain supreme. He has good taste, which helps. A rich blue three-piece suit is accented by a light grey button down and teal accessories. Black dress shoes are understated enough not to take away from the rest of his look. His hair, though, is another matter. Mr. Perkins is largely bald save for a ring of hair that poke up on either side of his head like horns. It’s a unique hair style that might be easier to recreate using a bald cap, grey wool roving, and glue than it is to buy pre-made.
