Turn up to Book Week 2026 as everybody's favourite yellow henchman in this minion costume, cut in kids through to adult sizes and finished with an optional wig.
The set pairs a bright yellow top with denim-look blue overall detailing and matching trousers, so the whole look goes on in seconds. Choose the coat and trousers on their own, add the wig for the full character finish, or buy the wig separately if you already own the outfit. With sizes running from S to 3XL, the same costume works for a Year 3 student, a high-school sibling and a parent joining in on the day.

Sizing tip: costume garments are cut for easy on-and-off over normal clothes rather than a tailored fit, so if you are between two sizes choose the larger one — it also leaves room for a long-sleeve top underneath on a cold August morning.
Why Parents Choose This Minion Costume
One costume, the whole family - sizes S to 3XL mean siblings, teens and parents can all dress as minions together.
Instantly recognisable - the yellow-and-blue overall look reads as a minion from across the school oval, so no one has to explain the costume.
Wig is optional - skip it if your child dislikes wigs, or buy it on its own if you already have the outfit.
Comfortable for a full school day - soft polyester with a relaxed cut lets kids run, sit and eat lunch without fighting the costume.
Works beyond Book Week - the same set covers Halloween, colour-themed birthday parties, school discos and fancy dress nights.
Fabric & Care
The coat and trousers are made from soft, durable polyester chosen to hold its bright yellow colour through repeated wear without feeling stiff. The relaxed cut is designed to pull straight on over a t-shirt and leggings, which makes it practical for a school day rather than just a photo.
Hand wash in cold water and hang to dry naturally; do not bleach or tumble dry. Because pieces are measured by hand, allow a 1–3 cm variance on the finished garment, and expect slight colour differences between your screen and the product you receive.
Book Week and Party Styling Ideas
Minions have a genuine home in Book Week because the Despicable Me and Minions franchises have produced a long shelf of illustrated tie-in readers, activity books and junior novels that sit in most Australian school libraries. If your school asks students to name the book behind the costume, a minion reader or picture book carried in the parade makes the link plain.
To finish the look, add round goggles or novelty glasses and a pair of black shoes. A group of friends in the same costume with different numbers of eyes is an easy way to build a class-wide theme, and swapping in a small blue toy or a banana prop gives photographers something to work with. For birthdays, the costume doubles neatly as a host outfit at a yellow-and-blue themed party.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the wig come with every package? No. Only the Coat + Trousers + Wig option includes it. The wig is also sold on its own under the Only 1pc Wig package.
Will this fit an adult? Yes. The range runs to 3XL, so adults are well covered. Order by your usual top size and size up if you are between two.
Are goggles or glasses included? No. Any goggles, glasses or footwear shown in the product photos are styling props and are not part of the package.
Can it be washed after Book Week? Yes. Hand wash cold and hang to dry — avoid the dryer and bleach, and the colour holds up well for reuse at Halloween.
Will it arrive in time for Book Week? Yes — we dispatch from within Australia, and orders placed at least a week before Book Week comfortably arrive in time for the parade. Ordering early in August is the safest option.
