No Prenup

No Prenup presents a scene in which the title character sits in the foreground. Viewed from behind, he is visible only from his back upward - a bald man, presumably wealthy. His new wife is sitting up in their four-poster bed, her beauty queen tiara and smile in place, surrounded by the spoils of matrimonial victory: shopping bags full of luxury fashion. As he faces her in what seems to be an attitude of confrontation, his true expression is left to the imagination. By surrounding herself in the luxury items so iconic of American beauty culture, the beauty queen’s trappings of beauty have her confined.
