Call it true love.
Anna Claire Clouds reveals it was no coincidence that she wore a white wedding
dress to the 42nd annual AVN Awards Show.
“Married to the game—that was my whole goal—I’m getting married to the game
tonight,” she said.
The native of Nashville, Tenn., made it official in more ways than one on Saturday,
January 25, winning the 2025 AVN Female Performer of the Year award along with
three other trophies on a glorious night of honors.
Clouds accepted the adult industry’s top individual performing award in front of a
crowd of 3500-plus at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
“I’m so proud right now,” Anna told AVN when she stepped off the stage. “I believe
in this industry so much and the only thing I can try to do is represent it in the best
way I can.
“I felt like I had every single person who worked with me and helped get me to this
point cheering me on.
“And it was just surreal looking at everyone who worked to get me here. It was
incredible. I was just looking out at my family.”
Clouds also won Best Anal Sex Scene for her performance with Zac Wild in
Massive Asses 13forElegant Angel; and a pair of awards for her sensational star
showcase Anna Claire Clouds: Dark Side for Jules Jordan Video—Best Gangbang
Scene and Best Solo Tease Performance.
The 2022 AVN Awards Trophy Girl pointed to the influence of her agents Mark
Spiegler and George Jiries from the renowned Spiegler Girls agency as a key factor
in her evening of triumphs.
“They really believed in me more than I ever believed in myself,” Clouds said.
Indeed, the stakes could not have been higher as the AVN Awards Show made
its anticipated return to the same venue it called home for nearly a decade. The
pandemic forced all-digital shows in 2021-22—followed by two at a different Las
Vegas property—and in ’21 the former Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was rebranded as
Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
Leaving nothing to chance for 2025, AVN summoned superstar entertainers Blake
Blossom and Alex Knight, aka OnlineGirl_, to co-host the ceremony presented by
MyFreeCams along with comedian Steph Tolev and multi-platinum recording artist,
Jason Derulo.
The dynamic singer and dancer electrified the crowd with his platinum hit “Talk
Dirty” and then closed the program with an energetic performance of “Swalla”
before reviving an AVN tradition during “Wiggle” when he invited dozens of girls to
join him onstage.
An international media contingent once again converged on the event, lining the
three-hour red carpet that created a parade of stars through the casino.
Once inside the three-level Theater—the iconic concert spot formerly known as
The Joint—over 20 awards presentations commenced with the help of the Official
Trophy Girls Molly Little and Stella Luxx.
