The 2020 Pirelli Calendar Is Here
Each year, the Pirelli calendar delivers some of the best images in high fashion. And for its 2020 edition, under the direction of Italian photographer Paolo Roversi, that was once again accomplished.
Named "Looking for Juliet" — after Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet — the 2020 Pirelli Calendar features some of the biggest names across film and music including Kristen Stewart, Rosalía, Indya Moore, Yara Shahidi, Claire Foy and more.
According to a press release, Paolo aimed to show the “Juliet that exists in every woman” with the calendar. Each actress featured is shown in two lights. The first finds the stars clad in modern clothing (like denim and crop tops) whereas the second sees them in period pieces that evoke true Shakespearean vibes. The duality between the two images points to Paolo's overarching mission in showing how the concept of "Juliet" is different yet present in every woman.
"There’s no Romeo here, there are only Juliets who show up for a casting call, respond to questions, and reveal their own version of the character before re-enacting a passage from the tragedy, in costume," Paolo told Vogue earlier this year.
