Mugatu Zoolander Costume
Mugatu from Zoolander is one of Will Ferrell’s best characters of all time. He’s a great character to dress up for any Halloween party and drop killer lines all night like: Oh, I’m sorry, did my pin get in the way of your ass? Do me a favor and lose five pounds immediately or get…
