EDITOR’S NOTE
Charly Summer left nothing to chance—she actually was wearing next to nothing—with her bold look on AVN Awards night.
She brought some razzle-dazzle to the industry’s biggest stage on January 7 in Las Vegas in an outfit that was custom made by renowned artist Nusi.
“I’m so stubborn,” Charly admits. “When I get stuck on something, I’m like, this is it. So I wanted Nusi to do this outfit for so long.”
Known for his high-profile collaborations with pop stars and actresses, Nusi creates one- of-a-kind, wearable art.
“I saw these crystal outfits he does and I was like oh my god, this has to be my AVN look,” Charly tells me. “We had a hard time linking up and then we found the time and he fitted me and made it happen and I just couldn’t let it go.”
Summer’s outfit had to be placed on her by Nusi minutes before the red carpet walk at the 40th annual ceremony.
“I was like I might not even win but I’m wearing this outfit and Nusi’s here and it was really painful actually—the outfit—but it was totally worth it,” she continues. “Obviously, beauty is pain you know. Literally with like the crystals I was sitting so awkwardly.
“And then he made these custom shoes and they were these crazy high pleasers. I was like oh my god, is there any way I can walk in these? I just imagined myself like wiping out on stage.”
She had not even tried on the whole ensemble until the night of the show.
“Once he sticks it to you it can’t come off,” Charly adds. “It was like a one-time thing.” So was Summer’s win for Best New Starlet—a once-in-a-career achievement that along
with her outfit will go down in AVN Awards lore.
