- The photo shoot is bold and provocative
The Pirelli Calendar has once again stunned audiences with its 2025 edition, featuring a captivating mix of stars who aren't afraid to bare it all. This year, the calendar, shot by renowned photographer Ethan James Green, takes on a new dimension with its bold display of beauty and empowerment. Among the standout stars is Hunter Schafer, the 25-year-old Euphoria actress, who posed nude on a beach, strategically using a large leaf to maintain her modesty. Her striking image is a testament to her confidence and allure.
Stars embrace empowerment
Joining Schafer in this daring photoshoot is 'Bridgerton's' Simone Ashley, 29, who embraced the camera with a sultry black and white photo. Her pose, accentuated by a small piece of cloth and her hand, exudes elegance and strength. The shoot, held in the picturesque Miami Keys during May and June, captures the essence of each participant's unique style.
British actor John Boyega, 32, is not one to be overshadowed. He showcased his physique in minimal swimwear, adding a masculine edge to the collection. Boyega's presence, along with his candid reflections on the experience, highlights the calendar's inclusive approach. "This was the most air I've felt between my legs on a set," Boyega shared, emphasizing the authenticity of the shoot.
Meanwhile, Padma Lakshmi, 54, defied age stereotypes with her breathtaking pose in a sheer white dress, while singer Elodie, 34, captivated with her nude portrayal in the sea. These images collectively redefine beauty and confidence across ages and backgrounds.
A storied legacy
Since its inception in 1964, the Pirelli Calendar has been a symbol of exclusivity and allure, gifted only to select celebrities and Pirelli customers. Over the years, it has featured icons like Naomi Campbell, Patti Smith, and Serena Williams. The calendar's evolution is marked by its shift from provocative imagery to a more diverse and empowering narrative.
In recent years, Pirelli has embraced a feminist perspective, showcasing women of all ages and backgrounds. The 2020 calendar, for instance, was lauded for its portrayal of fully clothed stars, including Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart, each embodying Shakespeare's "Juliet." This shift reflects Pirelli's commitment to shedding its racy image and promoting a message of empowerment and inclusivity.

The unveiling of the Pirelli 2025 Calendar reaffirms its status as a cultural icon, blending glamour with a powerful message of self-expression. As the calendar evolves, it remains a testament to the beauty of diversity and the courage to embrace one's true self.
