PARIS (AP) – Pirelli has unveiled the 2017 edition of its famed calendar which sees photographer Peter Lindbergh move beyond snaps of semi-nude models and set his lens on Hollywood.
The calendar, entitled “Emotional” and launched in Paris on Tuesday, stars 14 Oscar-winning actresses featured in close up in black and white images and in mainly clothed poses.
It’s a dramatic move away from decades of risque shots that made the calendar produced by the Italian tire manufacturer one of the most recognizable in the world.
A roll call of A-listers including Charlotte Rampling, Uma Thurman, Helen Mirren, Nicole Kidman, Lea Seydoux, Alicia Vikander, Kate Winslet, Julianne Moore, Robin Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Rooney Mara and Jessica Chastain all agreed to go near-makeup-free for the grown-up shoots.
