2025 AVN Awards: Adult stars bring shocks and wild frocks to red carpet at the ‘Oscars of porn’
The biggest names in adult entertainment brought shocks and outrageous frocks to the red carpet for the 2025 AVN Awards in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The X-rated ceremony, dubbed ‘the Oscars of porn’, was held on January 25 at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.
It was hosted by comedian Steph Tolev, along with adult stars Blake Blossom and Alex Knight.
Pop star Jason DeRulo served as the musical guest, after Iggy Azalea performed at the show last year.
The biggest gong of the night – Female Performer of the Year – went to Anna Claire Clouds.
The 29-year-old showed off her curves in a sheer lace bustier, which she paired with a long white satin skirt.
She accessorised with plenty of bling, including a sparkly silver choker, bracelets, and a matching handbag.
Former Boy Meets World star Maitland Ward took home Best Actress in a Featurette, after winning a similar award last week at the XBIZ XMAs in Hollywood.

The 47-year-old wowed on the red carpet in a skintight purple satin dress with a thigh-high split.
Maitland got her big break in acting playing Jessica Forrester on The Bold and The Beautiful.
She went on to star in notable guest spots on hit shows like Home Improvement, before landing her biggest role as Rachel McGuire on Boy Meets World.
After the series ended in 2000, Maitland made sporadic film appearances, most memorably in the 2004 comedy White Chicks.
But, when her mainstream acting career dried up, she eventually made the full leap into adult films in 2019.
She later detailed her journey from Hollywood to porn in her memoir, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood.
Angela White – known as ‘the Meryl Streep of porn’ due to her many awards in the industry – wore a long-sleeved, floor-length black gown with a high neck.
She was incredibly covered up, making it clear that punters will have to pay for her movies to see anything more.

1980s porn legend Seka, now 71, brought some vintage glamor to the red carpet in a glitzy red gown with long gloves.
The adult icon was once nicknamed ‘the Marilyn Monroe of porn’ and was the inspiration behind one of the characters in Boogie Nights.
Lily Phillips turned heads in a backless black gown with a plunging neckline.
The controversial OnlyFans star, 23, is currently in a feud with her former pal Bonnie Blue after Bonnie accused her of trying to ‘steal’ her idea to break the world sex record by sleeping with 1,000 men.
‘Rivalry suggests competition and that I don’t have. In terms of the world record, both me and Lily know it was my idea as l’d spoken to her about it,’ Bonnie previously told DailyMail.com.
While Lily and Bonnie have managed to avoid each other since their bitter falling out, they have came dangerously close to running into each other at AVN events over the past week.

The pair were up against each other in the fan-voted category of Favorite Independent Female Creator.
Lily may had the edge over her rival after she took home the Fan Favorite trophy for Fav Female Creator at the XMAs last week.
However, in the end, neither of the women won the award, with the trophy going to Mama Plugs instead.
AVN co-host Blake Blossom opened up about the competitive nature of the show in an interview with AVN.com prior to the ceremony.
‘When I first created the name “Blake Blossom,” my first agent told me that you can win awards in this industry and I was like “What? It’s not that you show up, and you f**k, and you get a check? It’s competitive?”‘ the adult star said.
‘I joked that I wanted to collect every one, like Pokémons. It became a goal of mine to pursue awards, and I asked people about them,’ she continued.
‘Angela White gave me a lot of good tips about how to stand out, and her business partner told me Best New Starlet was one of the more prestigious ones, because you can only be nominated one time for it. I was focused on Best New Starlet from the beginning.’

This year, Best New Starlet was awarded to Gal Ritchie.
‘there’s a long-standing mythology that when somebody wins Best New Starlet, their career just collapses and they’re off the map, and it’s called the Best New Starlet Curse,’ AVN managing editor Peter Warren said.
‘However, there are as many examples that defy that as there are that prove it: Blake certainly defies it, Abella Danger defies it, Chanel Camryn defies it, Stormy Daniels defies it,’ he continued.
‘It’s a bit of a myth, but it’s a thing hanging out there. Nobody really knows why it is.’
