Ahead of its 50th anniversary calendar, Pirelli has released a set of 'celebration photos' starring models like Karolina Kurkova and Isabeli Fontana.

Supermodels like Alessandra Ambrosio, Helena Christensen and Miranda Kerr donned white button-ups and bulky turtlenecks with bare thighs for the tribute shoot, called a 'media moment of celebration' by the brand.

The photographs were shot by famed photographers Patrick Demarchelier and Peter Lindbergh.

Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Gisele Bundchen are among the famous models who have posed for Pirelli photoshoots.

The 'Pirelli Cal', usually set in glamorous locations, includes completely nude shots of the biggest stars in the fashion industry.

The first Pirelli Calendar was published in 1964, shot by Robert Freeman in Majorca.

Emma Watson has confessed that she is frugal with her wardrobe and owns only four pairs of shoes.

The 23-year-old British actress said that she always tried to dress herself down in a way that she thought would not draw attention, the Daily Star reported.

She also said that she would rather be seen in a sloppy jumper and jeans than wallet-busting designer gear.

Watson, who stars in upcoming flick The Bling Ring, said that her low-key style was due to her upbringing.

She added that her parents are very academically focused and any kind of vanity on her part was not tolerated.
