Meet the characters from Zoolander

Derek Zoolander

Oh man, Derek Zoolander is like the ultimate goofball of the fashion world! He’s got that totally iconic “blue steel” look that just screams model, but honestly, he’s a total airhead! 😂 I mean, he’s super sweet and genuinely cares about his friends, even if he can’t seem to grasp the most basic concepts (like how to read a book, lol!). His journey from clueless model to accidental hero is just hilarious and heartwarming—like, you can’t help but root for the guy, especially when he just wants to be the best at being pretty. And let’s not forget those epic walk-offs! Classic!

Hansel

Ugh, Hansel is just so effortlessly cool, right? Like, he’s the chillest dude in the room who’s always got the latest trends figured out before anyone else even thinks about it. I love how he’s both a rival and a friend to Derek; it’s like he can’t help but be super laid-back while still being competitive! Oh, and that whole “I’m so zen” vibe? It’s hilarious because he’s totally into yoga and meditation, but then he’s also just a bit of a diva about his looks too. I mean, who else could pull off that hair while being so nonchalant about it? Total icon!

Mugatu

Okay, can we talk about Mugatu?! This guy is just the perfect mix of hilarious and despicable—like, you can’t help but love to hate him! He’s this over-the-top fashion designer who is SO extra, and his wild ideas are just completely ridiculous. Remember that moment with the “Derelicte” fashion line? I can’t even! 😂 Plus, he’s got this bizarre obsession with all things weird, like, seriously, what’s with the poodle?! But underneath all that craziness, there’s a glimpse of how deeply flawed he is, which makes it even funnier. He’s like the chaotic evil of the fashion world, and I am HERE for it!

Matilda Jeffries

Matilda is such a badass, honestly! She’s like the only one in the movie who actually has her head on straight—seriously, she’s a smart journalist trying to uncover this crazy plot while everyone else is just being ridiculous. I love that she’s not afraid to call out the nonsense around her, especially with Derek and his lack of common sense (bless his heart). She’s got this fierce determination, but also a softer side that shows she really cares about people, and it’s awesome when she starts to see past Derek’s cluelessness. Plus, her style is just impeccable—girl knows how to rock a power suit! Now that’s a queen! 👑
