A US woman was arrested on a drink-driving charge after she was pulled over wearing a Hello Kitty costume.

Police stopped Carrie Gipson, of Westbrook, Maine, when she was spotted driving in the wrong lane.

Officers said she refused to take a breath test and was arrested for operating under the influence.

The 37-year-old's police mugshot at Cumberland County jail shows her wearing a red and white Hello Kitty costume, minus the doll's oversized head.
