For years, the annual Pirelli Calendar was known for topless models and swimsuit shoots.

Then things started to change. In 2016, the calendar took a turn from its usual spread of nude models by featuring influential women of the world. Many of them were still topless, but powerfully photographed by the incomparable Annie Leibovitz.

The 2019 calendar was also pretty edgy, featuring Gigi Hadid and Misty Copeland.

This year, the calendar deviates even more from the norm, featuring fully-clothed women wearing everything from denim jackets to period costumes.

The Daily Mail unpacks the theme for 2020:

This year those featured are all in their 20s and 30s but have all made headlines for their outspoken views on social political issues.

The full line-up is includes: Emma Watson, 29, Claire Foy, 35, Kristen Stewart, 29, Yara Shahidi, 19, Mia Goth, 26, Rosalia, 26, Indya Moore, 24, Chris Lee, 35, and Stella Roversi.

They were shot by famed fashion photographer Paolo Roversi.
