Making legally themed Halloween costumes isn’t an easy feat, and this year’s submissions were quite creative. As usual, we applaud the brave souls who subjected themselves to our judgment.
And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for. Who won our annual costume contest?
It’s none other than a depiction of the battered, beaten, and bruised Justicia, better known as Lady Justice, 2025 A.D.. Check out the amazing costume, below.
