Lensed in front of the Eiffel Tower, this Zoolander and Hansel photoshoot celebrates everyone's favorite fictional supermodel duo. Zoolander 2 is the upcoming sequel to 2001 cult classic Zoolander and has been getting tons of press after its Paris Fashion Week stunt earlier this month.

Valentino's Fall/Winter 2015 runway presentation featured a cameo by Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson who resurrected famed characters Derek Zoolander and Hansel while at the show. While the duo didn't participate in a walk-off, they stunned Valentino's fashion show audience and went viral overnight.

Posing with models Xiao Wen Ju and Tilda Lindstam, Zoolander and Hansel pose in pieces from Valentino's Spring/Summer 2015 collection and don its monochromatic and colorful camo pieces.
