Blue Steel babes! Gigi Hadid and leggy Kendall Jenner inject some real-life supermodel glamour to the Zoolander 2 New York premiere as they sashay down the red carpet runway

After spoof perfume ads, an outrageous Vogue spread and a surprise SNL appearance, it's no surprise that the Zoolander No. 2 team would do things a little differently for the movie premiere.

The red carpet at Alice Tully Hall in New York City was transformed into a high-fashion runway to allow the cast - and some actual professional models - to show off their best struts, sashays and dramatic turns.

Leading the way was model-of-the-moment Gigi Hadid, showing how it was done in a one-shoulder embellished gown as she was joined by her supermodel best friend Kendall Jenner at the high-profile event.

Show some skin in an off-shoulder dress like Gigi

The red (or in this case, purple) carpet was literally transformed into a runway for the premiere of Zoolander 2 in New York. So of course there were a few top models in attendance.

Leading the pack was Gigi Hadid who stunned in a one-sleeve gown pulled from Marc Jacobs' Spring 2016 collection. The ankle length confection was embellished with red, blue and silver appliques for a patriotic look. Gigi teamed it with a pair of metallic open top pumps and wore her hair in a swept up 'do.

The 20-year-old beauty showed of her long legs as she took strides down the runway in front of catwalk photographers. 

Following closely behind was the movie's stars Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Penelope Cruz who graced the purple catwalk in character.

Stiller, 50, gave it his best Blue Steel as he showed off a shimmering embroidered suit.
