The Hotel Palace Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro was filled with a gorgeous crowd ready to fete 2013's Pirelli Calendar.

Actors Owen Wilson, Stephen Dorff, and Sophia Loren joined this year's photographer Steve McCurry and calendar girls Liya Kebede, Petra Nemcova, Elisa Sednaoui, and Hanaa Ben Abdesslem to celebrate the calendar's launch with a press conference and gala. At the gala, acrobats hung from the ceiling and did gymnastic stunts above the dining tables. After noting that journalists at the event asked lots of questions about the environment and foreign politics, Summer Rayne Oakes characterized the blue and white lighting scheme as "trippy."

Petra Nemcova said the real sparkle came from the other women in the calendar, like Isabeli Fontana and Kyleigh Kuhn. "They bring the light to so many lives!" Nemcova said.

A look at the unveiling of the calendar here in the gallery.

The biggest difference in the 2013 Pirelli Calendar is that its subjects aren't nude. Photojournalist Steve McCurry shot this year's calendar in Rio de Janeiro and he said he wanted to "portray women who are sexy without being naked."

Those women include Adriana Lima — the first visibly pregnant woman to be depicted in the calendar — and fellow models Isabeli Fontana, at left, Liya Kebede, Karlie Kloss, Petra Nemcova, Hanaa Ben Abdesselem, Elisa Sednaoui, Kyleigh Kuhn, and Summer Rayne Oakes. Brazilian actress Sonia Braga and singer Marisa Monte will also appear in the calendar.

All of McCurry's subjects support charitable foundations, NGOs, and other humanitarian projects. Kloss, for example, promotes FEED with her Perfect 10 Cookies, and Kuhn is the founder of Twenty Four Suns, a company that supports artisans in Afghanistan. Nemcova auctioned off a trip to Brazil with tickets to the calendar's Nov. 27 gala there and donated the proceeds to the Happy Hearts Fund.

A look at the first images from what McCurry has called the "calendar of the soul" — plus a behind-the-scenes look at how it was made — right here in the gallery.

Adriana Lima will make history as the first woman to appear in the Pirelli Calendar while visibly pregnant. The model was shot by photographer Steve McCurry wearing a black sleeveless shirt that covers her breasts but exposes the bump caused by her pregnancy with her second child. Vanity Fair Italia has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the 2013 Pirelli Calendar, which reveals that Lima will be joined in the annual collection of photos by models Elisa Sednaoui, Petra Nemcova, Isabeli Fontana, Liya Kebede, and Kyleigh Kuhn. In the sneak peek, McCurry explains that because all of his subjects support various nongovernmental organizations and charities, the 2013 edition will be a "calendar of the soul."

Pirelli announced that McCurry had shot the calendar in early June, and the photographer said then he wanted to "portray women who are sexy without being naked."

Pirelli has revealed that Steve McCurry will photograph the 2013 edition of its annual calendar. McCurry said he wanted to "portray women who are sexy without being naked."

So which 12 women will serve as his muses? Karlie Kloss is rumored to be on the list, but no other names have been announced so far.

McCurry is best known as a photojournalist, and rose to fame after shooting the well-known 1985 National Geographic cover photo known as Portrait of a Girl With Green Eyes. In shooting the Pirelli calendar, McCurry joins a list of esteemed photographers that includes Mario Sorrenti — who shot last year's calendar — Terry Richardson, Karl Lagerfeld, and Richard Avedon.

2010 Pirelli Calendar Photo Shoot

Last year it was in Botswana and this year? Brazil, baby! I'm talking about the highly anticipated 2010 Pirelli Calendar. Photographer Terry Richardson, here seen snapping Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, took his lens to the tropical locale to shoot scantily clad Brazilian models Ana Beatriz Barros, Gracie Carvalho, and non-Brazilians Eniko Mihalik, Miranda Kerr, Catherine McNeil, Daisy Lowe, Lily Cole, and more. Reverse cleavage, itty-bitty bikinis, and booty shorts . . . it's beyond steamy in here. Warning: NSFW.
