The 2026 Pirelli Calendar theme has officially been unveiled, with acclaimed photographer Sølve Sundsbø at the helm. And the first behind-the-scenes images are pure cinematic allure. Shot across Norfolk, Essex, and New York City, The Cal™ gathers an electrifying mix of talent, from Venus Williams and Irina Shayk to Tilda Swinton, Gwendoline Christie, FKA Twigs, and more.

The behind-the-scenes photographs capture moments of transformation: wet hair slicked back under studio lights, gowns rippling like liquid fire, and talent framed in surreal, dreamlike settings. Sundsbø’s vision for this edition is ambitious. It’s about exploring freedom, curiosity, mystery, passion, and our connection to nature and time.
The cast also features Eva Herzigová, Susie Cave, Adria Arjona, Du Juan, Luisa Ranieri, and Isabella Rossellini. Each brings their own aura to the lens, shaping a story that’s equal parts high art and intimate portraiture.
While these teasers hint at the scale and mood, the full imagery remains under wraps until later this year. If the backstage moments are anything to go by, the 2026 edition promises to be an evocative journey. One that blurs fashion, philosophy, and timeless beauty.
