Anxiety is the breakout Emotion of Inside Out 2: the orange newcomer who took over Riley's head and walked off with the movie.
That makes her the marquee add to any Inside Out group this Halloween, the one people get before you say the word.
She also works as a solo costume.
The orange skin and the tall volcanic-eruption updo of darker-orange hair are the whole silhouette: lose the hair and you're a person in a striped sweater.
So the buy comes down to one fork: the adult jumpsuit, the only boxed adult costume, or one of two licensed kids picks if Anxiety is the child's choice.
HalloweenCostumes.com carries the only adult Anxiety we found. Its licensed jumpsuit ships with the orange volcanic-updo headpiece in S–XL. One buyer flagged the hair as wobbly.

See it at HalloweenCostumes.com (kids) →Target's Disguise kids costume covers child sizes 4-6, 7-8, and 10-12, licensed, the second kids option.
See it at Target →An orange-and-cream striped sweater, rust pants, a spiky orange wig, and face paint to match build a passable Anxiety, with that wild updo as the costume's centerpiece, the one piece worth buying new.
HalloweenCostumes.com carries the only adult Anxiety costume we found: a licensed Disney and Pixar jumpsuit with the orange volcanic-updo headpiece built in, sized S through XL.
The headpiece is the signature piece — the tall eruption of darker-orange hair that makes the costume work — and it mounts on elastic straps over a plastic headband.
One buyer on the product page flagged the built-in hair as wobbly. That’s a single-review signal, so treat it as a heads-up about the headpiece, not a verdict on the costume.
The striped sweater and orange hair are handled; the auburn lace-up boots and gold-buckle belt are yours to source.
HalloweenCostumes.com also carries the kids Anxiety: a licensed jersey-knit jumpsuit with the same orange-hair headpiece, in child sizes S, M, and L.
It includes the headpiece, so a child gets the full silhouette in one box rather than a sweater that needs its hair built separately.
We make no fit claim beyond the size chart on this kids listing; measure against it before ordering. (The wobbly-hair note above belongs to the adult listing, a separate product page, and we don’t carry it over here.)
Target carries the second kids pick: a licensed Disguise classic Anxiety costume (jumpsuit plus headpiece) in child sizes 4-6, 7-8, and 10-12.
It’s licensed and the second kids option, worth picking if you’d rather order from Target or need a size HalloweenCostumes.com doesn’t carry.
