Edith Costume
Rock the rebellious middle sister's signature pink knit beanie and sweater.
Edith Gru is the sarcastic, action-loving middle sister from the Despicable Me franchise. Known for her tomboy attitude and her refusal to take off her winter hat, she is a favorite choice for group and family costumes. Her look is defined by a cozy, layered pink outfit anchored by her signature striped knit beanie.
