Emmy winning drag superstar RuPaul Charles is just one of the many famous faces attached to the new 2018 Pirelli Calendar. Images surfaced over the weekend featuring the “Drag Race” star as the demanding Queen of Hearts in this all-Black retelling of the classic children’s book, Alice in Wonderland.
“Now we have Alice looking different. Alice can be anyone. It’s an essence… you don’t have to be confined. Focus on what it represents. It’s important for cultural development,” said the calendar’s photographer Tim Walker.
In addition to Charles, the calendar also features some pretty magical and whimsical images of Oscar winners Whoopi Goldberg and Lupita Nyong’o, supermodel Naomi Cambell, hip hop icon Sean “Diddy” Combs, acclaimed model and actor Djimon Hounsou and rap sensation Lil Yachty + a cadre of high fashion models from around the motherland. British Vogue editor Edward Enninful is also assisting Walker with the fabulous fashion spread.
