Pirelli Calendar 2026: When Women Become the Elements of Nature

Every year, the Pirelli calendar generates huge excitement, but the 2026 edition is truly special. After last year’s incredible lineup with Hunter Schafer and John Boyega, many wondered: how could such a star-studded cast be surpassed? The answer is spectacular.

This year, in front of the lens of Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbo, stood true contemporary icons: FKA twigs, Tilda Swinton, Venus Williams, Irina Shayk, and more. Their portraits immerse us in a world of elements and invisible forces — earth, air, fire, and water, as well as energy, light, and emotions. Each woman interpreted her element, creating a unique portrait with the photographer that reflects their physical and emotional depth.

Sundsbo explains: “For the 2026 calendar, I wanted to capture emotions, instincts, and states of mind that are central to human life: the longing for freedom, curiosity, thirst for knowledge, mystery, imagination, passion, the desire for emancipation, connection with nature, and our relationship with time and space.”

Each photograph is not just an image but a journey into the female soul. The women here present themselves not only as stars but as symbols of strength, grace, and inner energy.

Sundsbo paid special attention to the selection of the models: “I wanted to photograph mature women with experience and depth. Women I deeply respect for what they represent.” And the result exceeded all expectations: each protagonist of the 2026 calendar radiates charisma, confidence, and magnetism that is impossible to look away from.

This calendar is not just a collection of photographs. It is a reflection on the woman as an element of nature, on how we connect with nature, time, and our own inner strength. Earth, water, fire, air — each element on the calendar pages reflects different facets of the female personality: stability and resilience, flexibility and fluidity, passion and energy, lightness and freedom.

Pirelli 2026 reminds us that women are not just outward beauty. They are strength, wisdom, energy, and inspiration capable of transforming the space around them.
