The cast of Zoolander 2 didn’t hit the red carpet at the New York premiere, they walked the catwalk instead.
Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Penelope Cruz and Will Ferrell were all in character as Derek Zoolander, Hansel, Valentina and Mugatu, at the premiere of the fashion-spoof sequel.
The gang strutted their stuff at the Lincoln Centre, the previous location of New York Fashion Week.
Asked if he channelled his model alter ego, Ben told People: “Um, well that was Derek, that wasn’t me. When Derek is out there, it isn’t me and he channels something from higher, you know? It’s just like a pure inner beauty that he channels that I can’t take any responsibility for.”
Jennifer Aniston’s husband Justin Theroux, who wrote the script, also dressed as his character, the Evil DJ, while models Gigi Hadid and Stella Maxwell also strutted their stuff on the catwalk red carpet as part of the show.
He clearly brought two outfits to the premiere though, and was dressed in a respectable suit to take pictures with Jen.
The movie also features cameos from stars and models including Justin Bieber, Anna Wintour, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne.
Zoolander 2 is in UK cinemas now.
