It's happening. Your favorite male models, Derek Zoolander and Hansel, are finally returning to bless us all with more "Blue Steel" poses and walk-offs in an official sequel slated to arrive next year. In true, ahem, fashion, the sequel was announced on the runway when Derek and Hansel closed Maison Valentino's show this past Paris Fashion Week.
Not only does Twolander (which may actually be the real title) have its work cut out for it in terms of living up to the original, but the fashion cameos have to be on point as well. The first had everyone from Donatella Versace and Victoria Beckham to Tyson Beckford and Billy Zane (who has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, hence why it was awesome). Thankfully, the intersection of high fashion and popular culture has never been higher than it is right now, to the point where Zoolander 2 already has a host of who's who models slated to appear.
Even though the movie is one year away, we're already dying at the thought of Derek and Hansel running into some of the models and fashionable celebs we love to lust over these days. So much so, that we came up with a list of cameos we want to see in the film. We got our hands on some leaked script pages for each cameo (read: penned fake scenes) and if they really go down as written, Zoolander 2 will definitely live up to the hype. Here are all the fashionable cameos we hope will be included in the final cut.
Kendall Jenner
Why she's so hot right now: In just a couple of seasons, this young model's runway career has shot through the stratosphere, landing some of the biggest shows in Paris, New York, and beyond, as well as working with greats like Karl Lagerfeld. With rumors that she may get her own Calvin Klein campaign swirling, everyone's trying to keep up with Kendall.
Sample scene:
INT. Backstage Balmain Show
KENDALL flips her iPhone to square to take a pristine post-game selfie having just crushed the runway. Just as she’s about to snap the pic, she hears the faint sound of a scuffle behind her—DEREK and HANSEL are fighting over control of a selfie stick, trying to photobomb her selfie with their own.
KENDALL: Why don’t you both get out of my shot?!
DEREK: Oh? Really? Well why don’t you tell your big sister to stop trying to ‘break the internet’ with nudie poses.
HANSEL: How can you break the internet? I thought it was indestructible…
KHLOE KARDASHIAN appears out of thin air.
KHLOE: Watch your mouth about my sister!
KHLOE snatches the selfie stick from DEREK and begins chasing and beating him and HANSEL around the dressing room with it.
Cara Delevingne
Why she's so hot right now: The English heiress has already taken over the fashion world at large, including a lucrative deal with Topman, and now she's got her eyes set on establishing an equally accomplished acting career. Did we mention she's as funny as she is beautiful?
Sample scene:
HANSEL lays on a gurney in an operating room, apprehensive.
HANSEL: You’re absolutely sure I’ll be a top model again if I get this brow implant?
The camera pans to CARA seated in the corner, thumbing through a magazine.
CARA: Mmhmm. Superrrr relevant.
HANSEL: OK doc, let’s do it.
Surgeons advance on HANSEL’s eyebrows and began operating.
Karlie Kloss
Why she's hot right now: She's BFFs with Taylor Swift, has her own line of Momofuku cookies, and is set to make her acting debut in Zoolander 2.
Sample scene:
A room full of gorgeous women and their even more beautiful, manicured dogs do yoga positions.
The camera pans to DEREK and a poodle, both shaking as they hold a plank position, in the back struggling to keep up with KARLIE and her AB-LAB, a labrador with visible abs.
DEREK: I just...Don’t...GET IT. Why do we have to do this with...canines??
KARLIE: Why wouldn’t you?? Doga is awesome!
DEREK and his poodle both give up on the plank, falling face down on the mat.
DEREK: [mutters] I’m only here just for TMZ to see us leaving together.
KARLIE: What’s that?
DEREK: Nothing!
DOGA INSTRUCTOR: And now, downward facing dog!
DEREK and his poodle groan audibly.
Chrissy Teigen
Why she's hot right now: The swimsuit model has made several semi-clothed appearances in music videos for hubby John Legend, and she's a noted foodie and hilarious social media personality.
Sample scene:
DEREK and HANSEL barge in Chrissy’s dressing room.
DEREK: Listen “Missy” I don’t know what you think you’re doing jacking our runway faces but we don’t—
DEREK stops in his tracks because he can’t believe his eyes. CHRISSY is in her bathrobe, face already a mess from the platter full of hot wings in her lap.
DEREK turns to HANSEL in disbelief.
DEREK: “What’s going on here? Since when do models... eat?”
CHRISSY: “Grab a bib and dig in, fuccboi.”
Alonso Mateo
Why he's hot right now: The son of A-list stylist and creative consultant Luisa Fernanda Espinosa, this kid isn't even 10 and already has more Instagram followers and a better wardrobe than you ever will.
Sample scene:
ALONSO and his mother, LUISA walk out of a fashion show. Suddenly, DEREK runs up on him out of nowhere.
DEREK: Derek Jr! My son! I finally found you!
He embraces ALONSO, wrapping an expensive looking Chanel scarf around him and swaddling him like a baby, even though he is clearly too old to be carried in such fashion. MATILDA walks up behind him, arms crossed, visibly peeved.
MATILDA: Derek. Enough. You know he’s not yours.
DEREK: How can he not be? Look at... the fashion. The look. The... facial symmetry!
MATILDA: That’s Derek Jr., way over there.
DEREK looks over at his actual son, overweight and eating an ice cream cone in the distance, wistfully. He turns back to ALONSO.
DEREK: If you want to... you can come with me
LUISA: Ok, this is enough! Step away before I call the authorities.
ALONSO remains silent as his mother pulls him away. He stares back at DEREK, slowly turns to the right, pulls down his shades and his eyes glow with the light of one thousand flashbulbs, which audibly click. ALONSO is clearly giving DEREK a miniature version of "BLUE STEEL."
DEREK: [screams] You ARE my son!
Kate Upton
Why she's hot right now: The blonde bombshell has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated and shilled burgers for Carl's Jr. You can currently find her donning armor and mounting a trusty steed as the spokesmodel for the Game of War mobile video game.
Sample scene:
DEREK and HANSEL stand off-sides on a commercial set while Kate Upton eats a Carls’ Jr. burger, while hitting the Cat Daddy on the roof of a car.
HANSEL: The game... has CHANGED.
Brad and Hudson Koenig
Why they're so hot right now: Father-and-son dynamic modeling duo represent the two ends of the modeling spectrum. At 35, Brad Koenig's in the twilight years of his modeling career, but he's managed to keep captivating kaiser Karl Lagerfeld as one of his masculine muses. Meanwhile, his progeny is literally following in his dad's footsteps—where they lead to the Chanel runway.
Sample scene:
KARL LAGERFELD (shielded from the sun under an umbrella) and the Koenigs approach their private jet on the tarmac. DEREK miles behind, rushes frantically to catch up with them on a Vespa scooter. He reaches the jet as they’re climbing up the stairs, halfway out of breath.
DEREK: [panting] Take me with you. I can be your muse. I want to be one of Karl’s Boys! Let me be your boy!
KARL looks Derek up and down, with increasing disgust and disdain. He shakes Derek’s hand off his arm.
KARL: Look at you, you're finished. What are you, 36? 37?
DEREK: 35 and a half!
KARL: I've already got one senior citizen. This is no country for old men.
DEREK falls on his back on the tarmac as the Koenigs look on in a mix of pity and morbid curiosity before boarding the plane behind Karl. HUDSON waves bye as he ascends the staircase. BRAD comes down, helps DEREK up and hands him a card.
BRAD: Here Derek, these people can help. Trust me, they did a lot for me when I hit my mid-30s.
DEREK looks down at the card BRAD placed in his hand, it's a modified version of the AARP logo, reading AARRRRGLP, underneath the abbreviation, it says "AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED REALLY, REALLY, RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE." DEREK flips the card over, and it actually doubles as a coupon for a free SoulCycle session.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
Why they're so hot right now: Um, do we even need to explain this?
Sample scene:
KANYE and KIM are backstage at his next Yeezy Season fashion show. KANYE is fixing KIM's pant leg, which is a very clear homage to the piano key necktie, except the entire pants are piano keys—and they're playable. KANYE makes a little tune by pushing the keys on KIM's shin and butt, squatting down and playing her leg like an upright bass.
KANYE: Yeah baby, turn just like that. Swish. SWISH!
KANYE adds to the tune by pushing some of the keys on KIM's other cheek.
Suddenly DEREK bursts backstage.
KANYE: Man, what the fuck?!
DEREK: Your line is a blasphemy! Do you even know who you were inspired by?
KANYE gets up indignantly.
KANYE: Hell yea, I know. I fuck with Derelicte, fam. Mugatu is a fucking visionary and anybody who doesn’t respect his artistry is a culture vulture.
MUGATU appears, decked in a tattered Yeezy sweater, baggy sweats and customized all-over glitter YZY boosts. He of course is holding his dog, who is wearing a Yeezus Tour T-shirt especially made for it.
MUGATU: Hello, Derek. I see you've met my one black friend, Kanye West.
KANYE: We bringing Mugatu back! He 'bout to walk in my show, and we're gonna show the world what true creativity can do. Kim gon' throw him on the gram—Kim?
KIM is taking a selfie with MUGATU, both have the same pursed lip expression.
KANYE: And he got a skit on the new album, Mugateezus. Come on babe, let's go execute my truest vision.
KANYE and KIM exit, Mugatu stays to gloat to an incredulous DEREK.
MUGATU: Mugatu’s back, bitch. Why don't you go dere-lick your own balls?
