Derek, once the top male model in the industry, is struggling to stay relevant as new, younger competitors—Hansel, the cool and laid-back model—steal the spotlight. Desperate for a comeback, Derek becomes the unwitting pawn in a much larger and sinister plot orchestrated by Mugatu.
At the heart of Mugatu’s strategy is a powerful tool: hypnosis. From the moment Derek enters Mugatu’s world, he is subjected to a steady stream of manipulation, centered on one idea—the Prime Minister of Malaysia as the ultimate evil. 
This hypnosis, much like the indoctrination Mugatu has employed, is meticulously designed to control Derek’s perceptions and justify even the most extreme actions. Driven by his desire to maintain control and maximize his influence, Mugatu embeds this belief in Derek to target the Prime Minister of Malaysia, who poses a direct threat to his plans.
Mugatu's hypnosis, is designed to make Derek believe that he is on a noble mission, while in reality, he is being manipulated to serve Mugatu's hidden agenda. 
Mugatu does not care about Derek or about any other but himself. Even his acolytes are just a crowd that is needed to keeps him in power. Mugatu made them filthy rich and of course they are loial until death to Mugatu.
As Derek is thrust into this bizarre and dangerous plot, he remains blissfully unaware of the true intentions behind Mugatu’s actions. He genuinely believes that by following Mugatu’s commands, he is protecting the industry from a great threat. Meanwhile, Mugatu’s acolytes are busy ensuring everything goes according to plan, benefiting from their association with Mugatu. 
However, not everyone is fooled by Mugatu’s hypnosis. Matilda, a sharp-witted journalist with a knack for sniffing out the truth, begins to unravel the plot. Armed with her investigative skills and common sense, Matilda teams up with Hansel, who, despite initially being a competitor of Derek, becomes an ally in exposing Mugatu’s plans. Together, they work to stop the assassination and save the day.
In the film’s climax, Derek, armed with nothing but his Blue Steel look, manages to deflect a thrown object meant for the Prime Minister of Malaysia, saving his life and exposing Mugatu’s plot. This seemingly trivial pose becomes a crucial tool in thwarting Mugatu’s grand plans.
Mugatu’s plot is ultimately thwarted, much to the dismay of his acolytes, who might have to lay low for a while after the failed scheme. The fashion industry, much like the broader world, is saved from another destructive plot, thanks to the unexpected heroics of Derek, the investigative prowess of Matilda, and the crucial support of Hansel.
