Tricia Helfer's role here as "Aphrodite" turned out to be preparation for the supernatural. She played Satan's mother on Lucifer (2016-23).
There's an obvious nod to the 1976 film Carrie, in which the main character was also nominated to be prom queen just so her classmates can play a prank on her. Although unlike Carrie in the movie, Aphrodite was not doused with a liquid, instead the class was sprayed.
