ABOUT JOY:

Joy, the perpetually perky pixie of Riley’s noggin! With a smile that could outshine the sun and energy to rival a hyperactive squirrel, she’s the ultimate cheerleader of emotions. Nothing gets her down, not even a rainy day or a gloomy thought. She’s the CEO of fun, the captain of giggles, and the reigning champion of positivity. If life gives her lemons, she’ll make lemonade and throw a party while doing it!

How To Dress Like Joy

1. DRESS – For an authentic Joy outfit, we found this replica skater dress. Otherwise, a retro-style yellow dress would also work well.

2. WIG – Add a short bob/messy-style blue wig.

3. BALL – To recreate Joy’s orb we went for a child’s foam play ball in bright yellow.

4. EYELINER – Add some dark blue eyeliner and brow tint to match your hairstyle.

5. LIPSTICK – Finish with a subtle nude or light pink lipstick and you are ready to go!
