Rolls-Royce introduces a special Cullinan “Cosmos” version — an SUV that comes with a roof liner hand-painted artwork of the Milky Way Galaxy. The project, commissioned by a private client, allows astronomy-inspired artistry to integrate with coachbuilding expertise from the house of Rolls-Royce. The normal Starlight Headliner has fiber-optic LEDs, but here in this vehicle, it is completely hand-painted with cosmic artwork mounted on the roof, perhaps even making it one of the most uniquely designed pieces in their bespoke collection. The design particularly focuses on getting both depth and accuracy right when representing such a galaxy meticulously crafted in every detail by skilled artisans.

The Concept Behind The “Cosmos” Cullinan
Rolls-Royce says the commission was meant to honour the vastness of space by putting together a celestial feeling inside. The work took months of careful thought and planning, during which designers looked at space images to closely imitate the Milky Way. This art effort was done right on the headliner, using many shades of paint, put on in layers to get a feeling of depth. The brand calls this job a "one-of-one", making clear its stand-out rare quality.
What Sets This Interior Apart
The hand-painted ceiling raises up above the already famous Starlight Headliner, hundreds of tiny fibre-optic lights give off a starry effect. In the Cullinan Cosmos, these fibre optics get raised by beautifully painted star clusters, dust lanes, and galactic swirls-much detailed representation of the Milky Way-what Rolls-Royce pointed out is that no two viewing angles are the same due to the unique interaction between paint layers and ambient lighting. The final result is meant to recreate sitting back in an SUV seat looking into deep space.
Exterior And Finishing Touches
A galaxy-inspired headliner is the most striking feature of the Cullinan Cosmos. To further enhance this theme, the SUV carries special trim, both exterior and interior. Paintwork receives a made-to-order deep shade meant to recall the night sky; custom materials and stitching further develop the interior design. Even such minute details as highlights for the instrument panel and inlays for the interior have been carefully trimmed to match that cosmic motif.

A Showcase Of Bespoke Craftsmanship
Cullinan Cosmos demonstrates the evolving focus of Rolls-Royce on bespoke commissions. The ultra-luxury SUV is built to customer specifications, and hand-painted roof liner is just one example of the extraordinary level of manual labour involved. Rolls-Royce has not announced pricing for this unique model, but given the bespoke nature of such projects —take that to be way above the standard Cullinan’s already healthy base price.
