It's that time of year again. No, not Christmas, or even the Victoria's Secret Show, but the unveiling of the Pirelli Calendar.
As an annual occurrence, the Milan-based tyre company releases a calendar. Historically, the publication featured semi-nude images of women, but recently the brand has taken the opportunity to touch on political and social issues, lending the beautiful images further depth.
Featuring different photographers, subjects and themes each time, notable calendars of late have included and all-black reimagining of Alice in Wonderland in 2018, featuring the likes of Naomi Campbell and Adwoa Aboah, and a host of make-up free actors in 2017.
So, what is the long-awaited 2020 Pirelli Calendar all about?
What Is The Theme Of The 2020 Pirelli Calendar?
Entitled Looking for Juliet the 2020 Pirelli Calendar invited notable actors, models and singers from around the world to reimagine the ill-fated part of romantic co-lead Juliet Capulet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
According to Pirelli, the subjects were invited to, 'present the role of Juliet in an ideal casting session that sees them act, pose, sing; each through their own emotion, art form, personality, character and interpretation of the role.'
