Watch: There was a Zoolander reunion at Paris Fashion Week

In the middle of a Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week, comedy superstars Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson appeared in character as their very stupid — but very beautiful — characters Derek and Hansel from the 2001 film Zoolander.

The stunt wasn't just an opportunity to look at two really, really ridiculously good-looking people — it's also the first step in what is sure to be a really, really ridiculously extended publicity campaign for Zoolander 2, which is set to hit theaters on February 12, 2016, according to Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the comedy sequel.

Even Anna Wintour, the notoriously deadpan editor of Vogue, couldn't help but smile.

Here is a Vine of Ben Stiller walking the runway as Derek Zoolander. This is a real shame, as everyone knows Owen Wilson's character, Hansel, is far superior at runway-ing:

If you're really, truly devoted to the cause of students who want to read good and learn to do other stuff good too, you can watch the whole fashion show here:

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
