Let’s be real—when AVN picks the faces for their biggest marketing push of the year, they don’t fuck around. They go for the performers who move the needle. And right now, nobody in trans porn is moving it harder than Leilani Li.
Her stunning alt-exotic look is about to be everywhere in Vegas. Billboards, escalator wraps, slot-machine screens—you name it, Leilani’s curves are owning the Virgin Hotels casino for the entire AVN week.
Leilani Li Just Became the Official Face of AVN 2026
The nomination party at Avalon Hollywood already felt electric, but when they dropped the campaign visuals? Half the room lost their damn minds. Leilani, in full glam, staring down the lens like she already owns the stage. That image is pure fire, and AVN knows it.
The Nominations Hit List is Stacked
She didn’t just get a pretty poster. Leilani walked away with some of the heaviest hardware in trans categories:
- Trans Performer of the Year – yeah, she’s defending that crown
- Best Trans Acting Performance – “Double Timing Besties” on TransAngels
- Best Trans One-on-One Sex Scene – “Double Timing Besties Part 3” with Lola Moreno
- Best Trans Group Sex Scene – “Anonymous Can Include Us, Right?” on Transfixed with Zariah Aura and Jewelz Blu
Four major nominations. That’s not luck; that’s domination.
Why 2025 Actually Belonged to Her
Look, everybody had a “breakout” year story in 2025, but Leilani backed it up with award wins, killer scenes, and the kind of fan votes that make studios sit up straight. TransAngels and Adult Time kept throwing her the best scripts and the hottest co-stars, and she delivered every damn time.
“I’m so honored to have received so many nominations from AVN this year. And even more excited to be a part of their campaign. Thank you to my fans and AVN for always considering me.”
