The iconic calendar’s 44th edition is entitled ‘[Emotional](http://pirellicalendar.pirelli.com/en/article?article=2163)‘, with black-and-white shots by renowned photographer [Peter Lindbergh](http://time.com/4477101/peter-lindbergh-pirelli-2017/?iid=sr-link3) displaying intimate portraits of 14 of the world’s most famous women, spanning six decades. Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander was, at 28, the youngest star to take part in the shoot, while celebrated British actress [Helen Mirren](http://time.com/4545228/helen-mirren-nasty-women/?iid=sr-link1) is the oldest woman featured in the calendar at the age of 71\. In an interview with [London’s Evening _Standard_](http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/celebrity-news/nicole-kidman-stars-in-pirelli-s-real-and-truthful-calendar-this-is-what-it-is-to-be-49-a3407231.html#gallery), Nicole Kidman said “This is a fantastic time to be captured, at 49 years old. \[Lindbergh\] has captured that, what it is to be 49… I love that the calendar has all ages of women, I love that.” “I wanted to show women in a different way: I did this by asking actresses who have always played an important role in my life and to try and get as close to them as possible through my photos,” Lindbergh said. One non-actress is featured in the calendar as a special guest: Anastasia Ignatova, a Political Theory professor at Moscow State University. A [behind-the-scenes look](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LRgzaeyAzg#action=share) at the calendar’s creation, which was shot in five different locations, shows the women featured speaking about the experience of being photographed by Lindbergh. “I walked in with no make up on and wet hair, and he \[Lindbergh\] said ‘No, that’s perfect,'” said [Julianne Moore](http://time.com/3822884/julianne-moore-2015-time-100/?iid=sr-link1). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4584582/2017-pirelli-calendar-peter-lindbergh/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4584582/2017-pirelli-calendar-peter-lindbergh/"},"headline":"The 2017 Pirelli Calendar Celebrates Women of All Ages","datePublished":"2016-11-29T12:20:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:58.588Z","description":"New 2017 calendar conveys \"personality, sensitivity and the guts to be yourself\"","url":"https://time.com/4584582/2017-pirelli-calendar-peter-lindbergh/","keywords":["motto","photography","Helen Mirren","Lupita Nyong'o","Nicole Kidman","julianne moore"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f1ba232843e2748/6988a4a3524fc06bcfdf95e8/nicole_kidman_433-medium-res.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Suyin Haynes","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/suyin-haynes/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9f1ba232843e2748/6988a4a3524fc06bcfdf95e8/nicole_kidman_433-medium-res.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Behind The Scenes - Pirelli The Cal 2017 by Peter Lindbergh","caption":"Behind The Scenes - Pirelli The Cal 2017 by Peter Lindbergh","creditText":"Alessandro Scotti","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4584582/2017-pirelli-calendar-peter-lindbergh/","name":"The 2017 Pirelli Calendar Celebrates Women of All Ages"}}]}] ```
