THE Pirelli’s 2025 calendar has officially arrived, and Hunter Schafer looked sensational as she posed nude on the beach.
The calendar was launched in 1964 to promote the tyre brand. It has grown into its own monster with artists and celebs clamouring to be involved each year.
It was discontinued in 1974 but made a comeback in 1984 and used to be a very titillating publication with many models going topless or completely naked.
Originally, it focused on traditional beauty shots, but in recent years it has explored femininity in more creative ways.
Euphoria actress Hunter, 25, is a vision in the new photo as she lets her wet hair run down her back while protecting her modesty with a leaf.
And she wasn’t the only actress to turn heads for this year’s iconic Pirelli shoot, by photographer Ethan James Green.

Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley, 29, also features, and posed for a sexy black and white snap while holding her breasts.
The star gazed towards the camera while posing for a striking shot that sees her donning a ripped white t-shirt.
In a second photo, Simone models a sheer bodysuit in images snapped in Miami Keys in May and June this year.
Other famous faces to be included in this year’s calendar include Italian singer Elodi, who draped herself naked over a tree and let her dark locks flow down.
Top Chef star Padma Lakshmi, 54, also features and showed off her timeless beauty in a white draping dress while sitting on a rock in the sea.

Joining the beautiful women is actor John Boyega, 32, who showed off his ripped physique in tiny swimming trunks and a black shirt.
And French actor Vincent Cassel, 57, ditched his top and opted for some baggy white trousers as he leapt into the air in a karate pose.
In 1987, Naomi Campbell posed for the famed Pirelli calendar, and in its sizzling 2012 edition, Kate Moss was among several supermodels to pose nude – a common theme throughout the years.
And it’s been home to some very famous faces over the years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Emma Watson, Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz.
But more recently the Italian tyre company has played with different themes and in 2017 it changed direction with a spread of women aged 50, 55, 70 and 71 respectively, to represent older women.
Then, in 2020, stars were fully clothed in a new turn for the calendar.
That year it featured stars including Emma Watson and Mia Goth, and re-imagined scenes from Shakespeare’s Romeo And Juliet.
Those featured were in their 20s and 30s, and were known to be outspoken when it came to political issues.
In 2021, the calendar wasn’t published due to the 2021 Covid pandemic.
