Over the last few years, Pirelli has moved away from the sexed-up image that has made their calendar world famous. For the 2016 calendar Annie Leibovitz photographed 13 influential women with their clothes on—save for a cheeky Amy Schumer and 2017's calendar went un-retouched, as Peter Lindbergh shot 14 of his favourite Hollywood faces with little styling or makeup.

Now the calendar makes another prolific turn as photographer Tim Walker has shot 17 black models and entertainers for 2018. This is the second all-black cast in 30 years. Naomi Campbell, Whoopi Goldberg, Rupal, Lupita Nyongo', Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Djimon Hounsou, and newcomers like Duckie Thot, Slick Woods, and Adwoa Aboah all play dress up for Walker's Alice in Wonderland-theme shoot, styled by Edward Enninful. Below, see the official preview of the 2018 Calendar.
