Fans have been crying out for a Zoolander sequel and while the movie is still some way off, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson gave a taste of what is to come at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday.
The duo hit the catwalk as their alter-egos, the 'really, really, ridiculously good-looking' Derek Zoolander and his rival-turned-friend Hansel during the Valentino Autumn/Winter 2014 presentation in the French capital.
The surprise appearance saw the duo, dressed to impress in printed suits with coats over their shoulders, give their best 'blue steel' impressions as they strutted their stuff .

And luckily for Derek, among whose famous quotes are 'I'm not an ambiturner' Zoolander, there were no left turns on the catwalk.
Ben, 49, famously wrote and directed the 2001 movie, which detailed the life of the dimwitted male model Derek Zoolander.
And he confirmed that it's all steam ahead for the sequel when he shared a picture of them backstage and wrote: 'Apparently Derek and Hansel have come to terms on #Zoolander2.'
He was ousted as the world's top model by foe Hansel McDonald (Owen Wilson) and became embroiled in an outlandish plot by corrupt fashion executives to assasinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Has filming started? It is likely the footage from the Valentino runway will appear in the Zoolander sequel
Derek was best known for his 'blue steel' pout and Ben certainly worked it as he strutted his stuff on the runway on Tuesday.
Despite starting the movie as sworn enemies, when Hansel took Derek's crown as top model, the film ended with them as friends when they left the fashion industry to start 'The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too'.
And although it's been 14 years since he played Hansel, Owen, 46, showed he hasn't forgotten how to work the runway as he confidently posed in his own printed suit.

With long blonde hair flowing to his shoulders, most likely hair extensions for the runway, Owen appeared to be having the time of his life as he joined Ben.
And Derek and Hansel even got the seal of approval from US Vogue's Anna Wintour, who posed for pictures with the pair as they got ready for their triumphant Paris Fashion Week debut.
Indeed, Anna appears to have been one of the few people who were aware of the secret as she helped them get ready.
In pictures posted on Vogue.com, Anna can be seen laughing in the background as the duo prepared to hit the catwalk.
Meanwhile, fans were thrilled last year when Justin Theroux revealed a script for the sequel had finally been written.

Asked whether the plans are progressing, he told Vulture: 'Yeah, we've got a script for the sequel, and we've just been in talks again.
We're trying to sharpen it and hone it and, actually, I don't want to jinx anything, but it looks like it actually might be starting to get up and running.'

'I met with Ben [Stiller] a couple times when I was in New York doing The Leftovers, and then I'm meeting again with him.'
Meanwhile, it wasn't all about Zoolander and Hansel as there was actually a fashion show with other models going on around them.
A dramatic entrance: Cara Delevingne made her way to the Valentino show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday, wearing a highly-stylised shirt, hat, sunglasses and jeans combination

Details: The blouse was incredibly decorative, with embroidery on the bib
Cutting through the fashion elite: All eyes were no doubt on the British supermodel as she trekked into the Valentino presentation on Tuesday
Pout and about: Even supermodel Cara couldn't resist posing for a quick selfie with the hilarious pair at the end of the Valentino show

Not just about Zoolander: The Valentino collection featured slouchy sweaters and flowing dresses for a soft, fairytale look
Dramatic: The collection itself was stunning, even though the dramatics of Zoolander hit the headlines
The 22-year-old Brit exhibited her high-fashion and rather divisive style after leaving the Chanel show earlier in the day, which saw her make her illustrious return to the runway for the first time this season.
It was a slightly masculine yet hugely dramatic aesthetic for the model, who donned a look that mere mortals wouldn't be able to pull off without looking like they were ready for a fancy dress party.
She covered up her newly-brunette and slicked down locks with a wide-brimmed black hat, with a pair of round retro sunglasses on her heavily made-up face.
Model date: OIivia Palermo attended with her model husband Johannes Huebl
Chic: The starlet was dressed to impress in tweeds as she took her place on the front row

The accessories added a masculine and almost rock star element to her look, and she elevated the get-up even further with a over-the-top ruffled high-neck white blouse with a bib detail.
The vintage item could have been fresh out of a period drama, but instead of teaming it with something else with a retro slant, she donned a pair of of-the-moment ripped black skinny jeans.
The quirky supermodel finished her eye-catching attire with a pair of black, white and brown lace-up boots with a shiny, patent finish.
She arrived at the Valentino show on Tuesday afternoon, fresh from walking in the Chanel show at The Grand Palais alongside her best friend and colleague Kendall Jenner.
Other stars at Valentino included Leigh Lezark and Kate Mara.
