The lowdown: Zoolander at Valentino

A Paris fashion show was photobombed by a couple of comically vain airheads in silly clothes. How could anyone tell?

Have you ever wondered if there was more to life than being really really ridiculously good-looking?
Clearly not — I’m on the front row at Paris Fashion Week, aren’t I?

Then you must have seen Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson catwalk-bombing the Valentino show on Tuesday to announce the sequel to their 2001 take-off of the fashion industry, Zoolander.
Is that who they were? I was too busy taking a selfie with Kimye to notice.

For serious. They did a walk-off at the end of the show, in character as the rival male models Derek and Hansel. And they were wearing their jackets like capes — so maybe they’ll be superheroes in the new film!
Actually it’s called shoulder-robing. Nobody at Fashion Week uses their sleeves any more.

So they’re down with the latest trends, then. There are some who say Zoolander is one of the most biting satires of the industry ever made.
And there are some who still think bootcut jeans are acceptable.

Well, the baddie, Mugatu was, surprisingly prescient of the Galliano debacle, wasn’t he? Just think what fun they’ll have with bloggers and Instagram this time round.
It’s true. The whole street-style thing is ripe for parody. Maybe the girl outside the venue in her bra and knickers was part of the stunt too.

Er, no actually. Filming hasn’t started yet. Zoolander 2 isn’t out until early 2016. That was just a girl in her bra and knickers.
That is just so hot right now!

I imagine she was pretty cold, actually.
