Riley Andersen is the main character in Inside Out 2. In the sequel, Riley is now a teenager and attending high school. All the emotions – Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger – still live up in her mind. However, going through puberty means new emotions – Anxiety, Envy, Embarrassment, and Ennui – show up uninvited to headquarters. Though perhaps she’s still a tad young for Nostalgia.

My Melody
My Melody is a Sanrio character. She is a white rabbit who is best friends with Hello Kitty, and the sweeter counterpart to Kuromi. She also enjoys baking. In sharp contrast to Kuromi’s black and purple palette, her colors are light pink and white. Opt for a soft look with ruffles and flowers. The headband elevates the look into cosplay.
Goofy
Gawrsh! Goofy is an animated Disney character and one of the Sensational Six. Childish yet good-natured, he is Mickey’s good friend (not to be confused with Mickey’s pet dog, Pluto). As his name describes, he loves to make jokes and gags, though his clumsiness lands him into the occasional trouble. In A Goofy Movie, we find out he has a son named Max, where he’s a still silly but well-meaning parent. His signature guffaw sounds like “a-hyuck!” You can use black face paint for your nose, and you can wear a pair of light blue jeans if you’re not feeling the chinos.
Lewis
Lewis is a Target Halloween decoration turned TikTok sensation. He is an 8 foot tall, light-up pumpkin ghoul dressed in a tattered hooded robe. He lets out eerie sounds – but also friendly greetings, in which he introduces himself as Lewis. Just don’t call him a jack-o-lantern! Target happens to carry a pumpkin mask that works perfect with this costume idea.
