Sandra Bullock showed off her Minion love at the Hollywood premier of "Minions" on Saturday as she flaunted her Rupert Sanderson-designed Minion-esque high heels in style on the yellow carpet.

Sandra Bullock, who was named the "Most Beautiful Woman" by People magazine this year, made an interesting appearance at the Lost Angeles premier of her new animated film, "Minions" on Saturday, June 27.

The 50-year-old Oscar winner was excited to hit the yellow carpet as she showed off fans her new role as the first female super villain, Scarlett Overkill.

"It's a job that I'm very proud to live up to," Bullock told Us Weekly.

Walking the carpet solo, Bullock donned a chic, black and yellow dress and trendy sunglasses. But it was her Minion-inspired pumps that grabbed everyone's attention. The shoes are obviously more than just a fashion statement as she's auctioning them off for charity.

Talking about her heels, which were designed by Rupert Sanderson, Sandra told ET's Kevin Frazier, "We're going to give all the proceeds to Art + Practice, which is a non-profit organization here in L.A."

The shoes retail for over $800.

According to their website, Art + Practice "encourages education and culture by providing life-skills training for foster young" for part of Los Angeles. In addition, they also curate free museum exhibits as well as art lectures for the community.

Apparently, those naughty minions can do some good too.

Though she goofed off for photographers and even talked to the press on the carpet, the real fun was had at the after party. Bullock's date for the premier was her 5-year-old son, Louis, who was seeing the movie for the first time.

Louis attended the after party with Bullock, who previously told ET that Louis doesn't even know that his mom is an actress, and she even claimed that as far as her voicing Minions' Scarlett Overkill is concerned, "He's not going to know it's me."

However, if Louis likes the movie, she might be hearing her voice over and over again at home.

When reminded how many times she said her son made her watch "Despicable Me," she said, "I hadn't even thought of that until you brought that up."

"Sometimes I look at these movies as nap time. Or get some work done or do some online shopping time. So maybe when my voice comes on, online shopping [...] I think that's probably what is most likely going to happen."

The "Gravity" actress also shared a touching message about her son, Louis, who she adopted from New Orleans in 2010.

"People go, 'Your adopted son,' and I go, 'Please don't say that. He is my son,'" Bullock noted. "I would give up my life for him. I mean, I have."

"I think times are changing. I know there's a lot of ignorance and a lot of people just need time to catch up. You can't get mad at that. All you can do is live by example. I look at the love that I have and I just wish for you that you can have that love too," she added.
