Trans adult star Vanniall captured one of the night’s biggest honors at the 2026 Trans Erotica Awards, taking home the trophy for “Pornhub Model of the Year” during the ceremony Sunday, March 8, at The Avalon in Hollywood.
The data-driven award recognizes standout creators on the platform based on performance, engagement and overall impact.
Vanniall’s win reflects a year of major growth across her digital presence, including more than 72,000 subscribers and more than 24.5 million views on her Pornhub page, alongside a combined social reach exceeding 1 million followers across platforms.
“This award means an incredible amount to me!” says Vanniall. “About five years ago, I received a diagnosis that I was sure would change my life and my career. I was sure that I was done, finished, benched.”
