Pirelli-Calendar/Interview (TV): Venus Williams, Gwendoline Christie in 2026 Pirelli Calendar stars
LONDON (AP) — Actors Tilda Swinton, Isabella Rossellini and Gwendoline Christie are among the models to star in the 2026 Pirelli calendar that photographer Solve Sundsbo says reflects the human connection with nature.
The 52nd edition of “The Call” includes famous faces interpreting the elements, such as tennis star Venus Williams posing with a fiery design, model Eva Herzigova posing underwater and singer FKA Twigs covered in sand.
“The main point for me was the casting, working with women I could relate to, both in terms of age and having worked with them before,” Norway-born Sundsbo told Reuters.
“We wanted to work with sexuality, we wanted to work with women, we wanted to work with nature… So you had to find a way to do that that didn’t feel derivative of things that have gone in the past, but an echo of what was earlier in the calendar.”
The Pirelli Calendar was first published for a limited period in the 1960s and was usually gifted to customers of the Italian tire manufacturer.
In recent years, it has moved away from images of barely-clad models to more artistic subjects featuring celebrities.
Christie, whose 2026 calendar theme is ethereal, said, “It has changed with the times and has changed and expressed beauty and society in different ways.” “I like that progressiveness.”
Completing the 2026 calendar cast are actors Luisa Ranieri, Du Juan and Adria Arjona, model Irina Shayk and fashion designer Susie Cave. Pirelli & C Spa
