Derek Zoolander is so hot right now.
The ridiculously good-looking model made his much-anticipated return to the fashion world after a 15-year hiatus last March, when he and fellow model Hansel made a surprise appearance at Valentino's Paris Fashion Week show. Almost a year later, he just landed his first Vogue cover.
Okay, full disclosure: Zoolander isn't real. But Ben Stiller (a.k.a. Derek Zoolander) and his Zoolander 2 co-star Penélope Cruz are gracing the February cover of fashion's most renowned magazine, which hits stands January 26.
The pair is dressed in head-to-toe designer wear: Dolce & Gabbana, Ralph Lauren, Tom Ford, Oscar de la Renta, the list goes on. They also had the privilege of being shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz. Blue Steel, indeed.

News of this cover was perfectly timed with the release of a new Zoolander 2 trailer that advertises the movie like an ultra-chic perfume ad.

For those of you who are surprised by Derek's latest modeling achievement: Let's not forget after he and Hansel walked the Valentino runway last year, they landed in an Instagram photo with Queen Anna Wintour herself. Zoolander's ties to Vogue are nothing new.
