Las Vegas doesn’t sleep, but even Sin City had to catch its breath this weekend as the 2025 AVN Awards—famously dubbed the “Oscars of Porn”—rolled into town. Hosted at the Virgin Hotels on January 25, this year’s ceremony was everything you’d expect: outrageous fashion, high-octane performances, and enough drama to fill a hundred OnlyFans timelines.
The red carpet? Oh, it wasn’t just walked—it was owned. From pop stars to legends of the adult industry, the AVNs proved once again that porn isn’t just a business—it’s an empire of style, personality, and raw ambition.
Hosts, Hits, and High Notes
Comedian Steph Tolev brought the laughs, joined by adult megastars Blake Blossom and Alex Knight, who co-hosted the evening with just the right mix of cheeky charm and industry insight. Jason DeRulo, riding high on his crossover appeal, took to the stage as the night’s musical guest—following in the stilettos of Iggy Azalea, who performed at last year’s show.
But let’s not forget what we’re here for: the awards.
The night’s biggest honor, Female Performer of the Year, went to the jaw-dropping Anna Claire Clouds. Draped in a sheer lace bustier and white satin skirt, Clouds looked every bit the goddess she’s built her career to be. Accessorized with enough sparkle to blind you in the front row, she reminded everyone why she’s the reigning queen of the industry.
From Sitcoms to Spotlight: Maitland Ward’s Victory Lap
Maitland Ward, once known as Rachel McGuire on Boy Meets World, continued her adult-industry dominance by snagging Best Actress in a Featurette. At 47, Ward’s reinvention is the stuff of legend. Her memoir, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood, chronicles her journey from mainstream roles to becoming one of the most celebrated names in adult entertainment.
And let’s talk about her red-carpet look: a skintight purple satin dress with a thigh-high split that served Jessica Rabbit vibes, proving she’s as bold now as she was on network television.
Angela White: The Meryl Streep of Porn
Angela White, a name synonymous with excellence in the industry, opted for subtle seduction in a long-sleeved, floor-length black gown. Covered up but commanding attention, White knows exactly how to play the game—and she’s playing it better than anyone else. You don’t earn the nickname “Meryl Streep of Porn” without knowing how to make an impact, on-screen or off.
Seka, Lily Phillips, and a Taste of Old-School Glam
1980s icon Seka, affectionately known as the “Marilyn Monroe of Porn,” brought vintage Hollywood glamour to the proceedings in a glitzy red gown complete with long gloves. A living legend at 71, she’s proof that the industry’s roots run deep, even as its future evolves.
Then there’s Lily Phillips, the 23-year-old OnlyFans firestarter whose plunging backless black gown turned heads for all the right reasons—and maybe a few of the wrong ones. Currently embroiled in a public spat with her former friend Bonnie Blue over a controversial world sex record idea (1,000 men, for those keeping score), Phillips is nothing if not headline gold. While the two avoided each other on the red carpet, their feud simmered in the fan-voted category for Favorite Independent Female Creator, a title ultimately claimed by Mama Plugs.
The Myth of the Best New Starlet Curse
Newcomer Gal Ritchie took home Best New Starlet, an award steeped in its own mythology. The so-called “Best New Starlet Curse” claims that winners often see their careers fizzle post-victory. AVN managing editor Peter Warren, however, isn’t buying it.
“There are as many examples that defy it as there are that prove it,” Warren said, name-dropping stars like Abella Danger and Stormy Daniels, who have gone on to thrive despite the supposed curse.
Blake Blossom, herself a former Best New Starlet winner, weighed in on the competitive nature of the industry. “It’s not just show up, f***, and get a check,” she said in an interview with AVN.com. “There’s real strategy here, and I treat awards like Pokémon—I want to collect them all.”
A Night of Legends and Rising Stars
The AVN Awards continue to blur the lines between entertainment, artistry, and raw ambition. From industry legends like Seka and Angela White to newcomers like Gal Ritchie and drama magnets like Lily Phillips, the event celebrates a world that thrives on pushing boundaries.
So here’s to another year of scandal, seduction, and success. The AVNs aren’t just a ceremony—they’re a celebration of an industry that refuses to be anything less than unapologetically itself.
