Sadness, voiced by Phyllis Smith, is always so blue. She is one of the five emotions inside the mind of Riley Andersen from Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out. She’s joined by fellow emotions Joy, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. Though Sadness complains a lot, no one will be complaining when they see this look on you.
Dress the part with a Blue Short Straight Wig, Nerd Style Round Frames, Turtleneck Pullover Sweater, and a pair of Satin Opera Length Gloves. Then, dress up in Power Flex Pants and Blue Ballet Flats. Finally, complete the look with the makeup in the video tutorial!
Sadness Cosplay Costumes
If you’re looking for a cute character to cosplay, we highly recommend Sadness from the hit movie Inside Out! She is simply adorable. You definitely have to be a committed cosplayer to take on the full face of blue paint and blue wig. You can dust off your old Harry Potter glasses, and you’re halfway there! A simple pair of blue gloves of any kind, a chunky turtleneck and some comfy blue slippers paired with your average pair of yoga pants, will complete your look.
Luckily for you, Sadness is merely one of 5 other emotions living inside the head of Riley Anderson. She lives among Joy, Fear, Disgust, and Anger, kind of like all of us. A fun idea for group cosplay is bringing all five emotions together and hitting conventions to show off a full range of feelings for your favorite Inside Out character.

About Sadness
Sadness is true to her name, but this blue girl plays a critical role in the head of Riley Anderson. She is an internal alarm, a voice we all have, that signals to the other emotions that all is not right. Her job is to let the other emotions know when Riley is going through something and needs support and comfort, and she takes her tasks seriously.
Don’t let her fool you; Sadness has winning qualities as well. She loves to be helpful, and she likes to win. She doesn’t like being ignored or left out. She prefers to avoid long-term memories but has the ability to make them and all memories sad. She longs to be accepted by the other emotions and is by far the most sensitive of them all. She’s smart and has more common sense than her fellow emotions and seems to understand before anyone else how truly vital she is to keeping Riley’s mind in good working order.
