It’s a two-peat for smoking hot, glamorous, versatile, and multi-award-winning trans performer Ariel Demure, who has won Best Trans Acting Performance for the second year in a row at the AVN Awards.

After walking the giant red carpet in the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, and the main red carpet full of paparazzi from around the globe, Peter King, owner of Dirty Cinema, attended the AVN Awards at The Theater, hosted by Abigaiil Morris and ItsLo. When the winner of Best Trans Acting Performance was announced, Ariel Demure took to the stage in her gold gown and mink stole to accept her award. She won for Gender X Films’ “Transpirella,” the role she was born to play. The film has an all-star cast and was directed and produced by the legendary Jim Powers.

“This role was so much fun and challenging at the same time. I’m glad that Jim cast me in the role and that I did its justice. Thank you so much, AVN, for this incredible honor,” says Ariel Demure.

With just a few years in the industry, Ariel is in demand and has worked for all the top studios and has appeared in over 150 scenes for Transfixed, Grooby, Evil Angel, TransAngels, Gender X Films, Devil’s Film, and Transsensual, and has scored tons of DVD covers and directs for Adult Time. She’s among the few stars to have a perfect 5-star rating from fans on Adult Empire. And like Tera Patrick, she was featured in two of the biggest adult publications in the same month, AVN and XBIZ World magazines, in August of 2024.
