VH1's three-time male Model of the Year is finally gracing his first official cover of Vogue.
Zoolander Ben Stiller is serving up his fiercest magnum face for the February issue alongside the film's newcomer, cinematic bombshell Penelope Cruz.
As his temporary sidekick, the Spanish star and comedian are decked out in the finest blue fashions as they tease fans with the upcoming sequel to the beloved 2001 comedy debuting on Feb. 12. After a 15-year hiatus, Zoolander is still right at home behind the lens.
To bide his time until the grand reveal, Zoolander has kept busy primping while surrounded by this decade's esteemed breed of social media-savvy supermodels, including Gigi Hadid, Jourdan Dunn and Joan Smalls.
When he's not waiting for his hair to dry, Zoolander is busy posing atop a bed in his signature Le Tigre pose as a stunning Cruz plays photographer.
While his antics are commonplace in 2015, there was a time when the eccentric film wasn't considered anything more than "ok."
"It wasn't like a slam-dunk movie idea," Stiller told Vogue. "For the most part, we were on our own—both in the fashion world and with the studio, too. They were just like, ‘We don't quite know what this is," he said. "It wasn't that they hated it. They were just like, ‘Oh, OK.' Honestly, that's what it was like when the movie came out, too. Same thing. ‘Oh, OK.' "
In fact, despite the sleeper success of the first film and momentum surrounding the second, the lead star is still uncertain whether the industry would have ever taken the film in 2016.
"Would a studio make Zoolander 1 today?" Stiller contemplated. "It's hard to know. It's a quirky, weird movie."
Despite Stiller's hesitation, we all can't help but notice the foretelling legacy Zoolander's mug left on an entire generation of iPhone-obsessed selfie kings and queens.
"I guess with the selfie culture, it's just a natural extension. Did I have any idea that it would live on? No," Stilled added.
As a blockbuster star, the unique role holds a special place among all of the other iconic characters Stiller has embodied over the years.
"I'd much rather have somebody say, ‘Hey, Zoolander,' than ‘Hey, Focker,' " he quipped.
The issue is available on newsstands on Jan. 26.
