Pirelli’s 2020 Calendar Casts Emma Watson and Chinese Singer Chris Lee as Juliet
A first look at Pirelli's 2020 calendar reveals a Shakespearean theme dedicated to a certain tragic heroine.
The Pirelli Calendar, created by the Italian tyre maker of the same name in 1964, was once known for its glamour model-style portraits and would likely appear on a car mechanic's garage wall. Forty seven editions later and The Cal™ (as the calendar is also referred to as) has grown up and leapt away from its original format into a snapshot of contemporary society and the perception of beauty in our times.
This year, the 2020 calendar surrounds a "Looking for Juliet” theme and was aptly shot in Paris and Verona -- where the romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet took place. Nine personalities from around the world were invited to sing, act and pose while embodying the love, strength, youth and of course, beauty, in one of Shakespeare's most well-known female protagonists.

Lensed by legendary Italian fashion photographer Paolo Roversi, the calendar captures some familiar faces including high-profile actresses Emma Watson and Kristen Stewart, Chinese pop star Chris Lee, along with British actresses Claire Foy and Mia Goth, American actresses Yara Shahidi and Indya Moore, Spanish singer Rosalía Vila Tobella, and Franco-Italian artist Stella Roversi -- who also happens to be Roversi's daughter -- portraying the many facets of Juliet's character.
The official backstage photographs, shot by Alessandro Scotti, were recently released and showcases the leading ladies in action. To get a behind-the-scenes look before the calendar launches in October, click through the gallery below.

Singer and Actress Chris Lee Is the Face of Gucci’s Newest Campaign
Chinese singer and actress Chris Lee flaunts Gucci’s jewellery and timepieces in the brand’s latest campaign, slated for release this month. Shot at the stunning 18th-century Biblioteca Casanatense in Rome, the Italian luxury fashion brand’s campaign is inspired by its creative director Alessandro Michele’s love for libraries and literature.

In the new campaign, Lee, who is also Gucci’s brand ambassador in Asia, plays the role of a book lover. Decked out in elegant jewellery, she wanders the brimming library with its leather-bound books, antique wooden furniture and neutral hues. Biblioteca Casanatense, built in 1701 by the Dominicans of the Convent of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, serves as the perfect backdrop for the sophisticated and timeless pieces of jewellery showcased in the campaign.
Lee is seen sporting a Gucci Grip timepiece with a yellow gold PVD case engraved with the GG motif and three windows (representing hour, minute and date). The G-Timeless Automatic also appears in the campaign with its understated yet sleek glistening steel case, steel bracelet and black onyx dial featuring a bee motif. Another shot shows Lee wearing a G-Timeless with a striking green-red-green House Web stripe nylon dial, embroidered gold bee design and a white calf leather strap with a yellow gold PVD case.
The jewellery compliments the mood perfectly and the campaign has Lee in GG Running earrings in yellow gold and a diamond-studded ring in yellow gold. She completes the look with a beautiful Gucci Flora necklace with matching rings and bracelet in white gold and diamonds.
