Following Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson's epic runway takeover at the Valentino autumn/winter show last month, the brand has released images from its Zoolander-themed collection - and they're nothing short of ridiculously good looking.
Stiller and Owen (aka Zoolander and Hansel) can be seen jumping around in front of the Eiffel Tower dressed in camouflage prints from Valentino's spring/summer 2015 collection while real life models Tilda Lindstam and Xiao Wen Ju pose up a storm next to them.

The stunt was co-ordinated to announce the release of Zoolander 2, which will be filmed in Rome and released in February next year.
Despite the cult-like status of the movie, Stiller admitted he was shocked to see how excited fans were when he and Wilson stormed the runway.
"I was a little surprised," said the actor. "I mean it's been 15 years since the movie came out so we really didn't know if people remembered or cared, and it was nice to know that there was a little bit of a connection there that people had."
So how did the pair join forces with an exclusive brand like Valentino? According to Stiller, they had three designers in mind - but Valentino won out in the end.
"We were just happy we were able to keep it a surprise and nobody tripped," Stiller joked.
