L'immagine mostra un gruppo di cinque persone in costume, posizionate in un ambiente che sembra un set di filmazione con un fondo di legno e fieno. A sinistra, una persona indossa un abito blu chiaro con una coperta che le copre la testa, tenendo un microfono. Accanto a lei, un'altra persona è vestita con un abito bianco e una corona, tenendo un contenitore. Al centro, un uomo indossa un costume verde e giallo con una corona dorata, mentre a destra, un altro uomo è vestito con un abito rosso e giallo. In primo piano, un uomo è seduto a terra, avvolto in un panno bianco, con un costume nero da gatto. Tutti sorridono e sembrano divertirsi, creando un'atmosfera festosa e divertente.
