Definition: (noun phrase) a beautiful young wife who is a status symbol for her (usually rich, older) husband

Example: Donald Trump wants to make sure that he has the ideal trophy wife, so every 10 years he trades the one he has for a younger model.

Quote:

"I was looking for anything that wasn't playing the perfect trophy wife, which to me is boring, boring, boring. My character is unapologetically bad. It was incredible."
