The 2025 Adult Video News (AVN) Awards celebrated their 42nd edition last Saturday (January 25), bringing glitz, glamour, and, well… some questionable fashion choices to what’s been called the “Oscars of p-rn.”
The awards are divided into a massive 100 categories, ranging from more conventional “Best Actor/Actress” prizes to unique titles like “M-LF Performer of the Year.”
While some of the adult stars attended the event looking as elegant as any other award show would demand, others weren’t shy of the show’s underlying nature and attempted to outdo one another with wild, barely-there outfits.
This year’s fashion train wrecks didn’t disappoint, offering up a feast of outfits that left viewers scratching their heads and reaching for a pair of sunglasses to shield their eyes.
Here are the top contenders for the Worst Dressed title at the 2025 AVN Awards, where wardrobe disasters ranged from “What were they thinking?” to “Are they even wearing clothes?”
#1 Juicy Pomma
The mix of fishnets, pearls, and bondage straps showcased by Pomma was labeled by some viewers as a “Halloween costume gone wrong.”
The outfit was also deemed overly accessorized by many, who felt it lacked coherence and was ill-fit for the red carpet of an awards ceremony.

#2 Wild Wylie Pm
Staying true to her alternative style, the actress appeared on the red carpet wearing an outfit that looked straight out of an emo or goth underground party.

The plus-sized actress complimented her trademark, flowing red hair with an equally flowing—and loose—dress.

#6 Goddess Lilith
Lilith surprised viewers by wearing one of the—if not the most—unconventional outfit of the night.
The actress wore what seemed to be a bathing suit decorated by accessories in the shape of butterfly wings, with one sticking out of her belly and covering almost half of her torso.

#7 Gal Ritchie
Ritchie stepped up to the podium in a see-through light-blue dress that allowed all the details of her private parts to “shine through.”

#8 Anna Claire
While not the most outrageous of the event’s ensembles, the actress’ lace bodice fell short of making her look glamorous, failing to showcase her figure despite being fairly revealing.
Some viewers said that the cut of the dress didn’t seem to flatter her shape, and the choker she wore felt like an afterthought that clashed with the rest of her look.

#9 Victoria Peaks
Victoria Peaks’ more classic ensemble was considered much more palatable by audiences, with a blue dress and shoes that complimented her eyes.
Despite this, many took issue with her dress’ plunging neckline, stating that it was “begging for a wardrobe malfunction.”

#10 Rae West
Some viewers felt West had forgotten she was attending a public awards show and instead dressed herself for a romantic, private evening.

#11 Ariel X
The actress, known for performing exclusively with other women, showed up to the red carpet in a daring, metallic golden dress.
She completed the look with equally golden shoes and jewelry for a very cohesive look.

#12 Ariel Demure
The transgender actress showed up to receive her award wearing a dramatic black ensemble that featured what appeared to be a dead raven on her shoulder.
The dress continued its avian motif by prominently featuring a feathery texture all the way to the bottom.
