Adwoa, Naomi, Lupita, Whoopi: Pirelli Teases 2018 Calendar

Pirelli has teased us with behind-the-scenes images from its Alice in Wonderland-themed 2018 calendar, photographed through the wondrous lens of Tim Walker and styled by new British Vogueeditor-in-chief Edward Enninful with set design by Shona Heath.


The trio are joined by an all-star cast for the calendar, who take on the following roles:

Adwoa Aboah is Tweedledee; Naomi Campbell and Sean “Diddy” Combs are The Royal Beheaders; Slick Woods is The Madhatter; Lupita Nyong'o is The Dormouse; Whoopi Goldberg is The Royal Duchess; Djimon Hounsou is The King of Hearts; Ru Paul is The Queen of Hearts; Adut Akech is The Queen of Diamonds; Alpha Dia is the Five-Of-Hearts-Playing-Card Gardener; King Owusu is the Two-Of-Hearts-Playing-Card Gardener; Lil Yachty is The Queen's Guard; Thando Hopa is The Princess of Hearts; Wilson Oryema is the Seven-Of-Hearts-Playing-Card Gardener; Zoe Bedeaux is The Caterpillar; Sasha Lane is The Mad March Hare; and Duckie Thot is Alice.

The aesthetic of next year's calendar is a departure from the 2017 edition, which was shot by Peter Lindbergh, and the 2016 shoot, which was shot by Annie Leibovitz. Both black-and-white shoots had a stripped-back feel to them - antidotes to Walker's saturated high-wattage vision for next year.
