Herb Overkill Costume Guide

Herb Overkill from Despicable Me next to a pinstripe suit, jeans, lilac shirt, and other costume ideas.

ABOUT HERB:

Herb Overkill, the lovable and laid-back supervillain husband of Scarlet Overkill. He’s like the ultimate chill dude, always down for a good time and never too serious about his evil schemes. Herb loves his milk and cookies, and he’s got a special spot in his heart for the Minions. He’s like the stoner uncle of the villain world, always ready to lend a helping hand (or a relaxed nod) to his friends.

How To Dress Like Herb

1. SUIT JACKET – There’s no denying, Herb Overkill is every bit the sharp dresser his wife is, exemplified here in a sleek pinstripe suit jacket.

2. JEANS – Bringing a more casual air to his look, Herb pairs his jacket with some skinny-fit jeans.

3. SHIRT – Not afraid to show a little color, we have a smart lilac dress shirt.

4. TIE – To go with the rest of his long and sleek look, Herb wears an ultra-skinny black tie.

5. GLOVES – Because fingerprint evidence has been the downfall of many an evil genius, Herb is careful to always wear a pair of black gloves.

6. BELT – The most ostentatious part of this outfit is a black belt with a prominent, gold buckle.

7. SHOES – We love an excuse to wear a pair of white dress shoes with a smart outfit.

8. WIG – Finally, much like Scarlet, Herb’s mullet hairstyle calls back to a much different fashion era.
