The reviews are in for Zoolander 2, and to quote fashion expert Tim Gunn, the film did not “make it work.” The New York Times called it a “discarded remnant of the Austin Powers franchise.” The Los Angeles Times said, “You may smile at times, but not as often as you’d like.” And NPR compared the viewing experience to “being the plus-one at a Hollywood party where the guests are all blasted on synthetics.” Yet despite its 19 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the sequel to the 2001 sleeper hit still has two saving graces: one being the extraordinary fashion and the other being the woman who made it all happen, Leesa Evans.
While the original Zoolander was a satire of the fashion industry, the second installment’s in-with-the-in-crowd. Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour inducted Ben Stiller and his cast of kooky characters into her tribe, opening doors for Evans, who has designed costumes for some of the biggest comedy hits of the past decade, including Trainwreck, Bridesmaids, Neighbors, and more.
