A major pop star dies in new Zoolander 2 trailer

The Zoolander 2 trailer has been released, with male models Derek and Hansel teaming up again to save the world from evil fashion mogul Mugatu.

Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell return with an all-star cast including ridiculously good looking Penelope Cruz, Kristen Wiig and Benedict Cumberbatch.

The sequel to the 2001 comedy hit sees someone trying to kill the world's most beautiful people.

One of the first to be killed is Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, who dies while striking Zoolander's signature Blue Steel face.

"Just want to let everybody know that this is NOT the full #Zoolander2 movie, the real movie is like at least 11 million times longer," he said.

Zoolander 2 is due for release on February 11.
