Third time’s the charm, right? Zariah Aura is betting on it.
The stunning Latina trans star just cleaned up with six nominations for the 2026 XMA Awards, and the industry is buzzing. We’re talking Trans Performer of the Year (again), a fan-voted favorite, and four separate scene nominations that prove she’s been absolutely everywhere this year.
Zariah Aura Is Officially Unstoppable in 2025
Let’s be real — 2025 belonged to Zariah. Top studios, killer projects, magazine covers, the works. Now the XMA voters have spoken, and they handed her the kind of haul most performers only dream about.
The Big One: Trans Performer of the Year… Again
This is her third consecutive nod for the biggest trans prize in the game. That alone puts her in rare air. Only a handful of girls have ever gone back-to-back-to-back like this. Zariah’s previous two runs were strong, but 2025 felt different — she was literally everywhere, from high-end Adult Time features to raw Evil Angel gonzo.
Fan Love Locked In
On top of the industry vote, her fans pushed her straight into the Fav Trans Star category. Voting is open right now, so if you’ve been subscribed to her Fansly or catching every new drop, this is your moment to make noise.
That Insane Adult Time Orgy Is Still Paying Dividends
Remember “The Bottom Floor: Second Coming” on Adult Time? Twenty performers, zero chill, pure chaos in the best way. Zariah was right in the middle of that madness alongside Penny Barber, Lilly Bell, Casey Calvert, Coco Lovelock, Codi Vore, Leana Lovings, Little Puck, and a laundry list of others. The scene walked away with two nominations:
- Best Sex Scene – Fetish
- Best Sex Scene – Orgy/Group (Mixed)
Any time you share the screen with that many heavy hitters and still stand out enough to get the nom? That’s star power.
Two More Trans Scene Nods Prove Her Versatility
She also grabbed a pair of Best Sex Scene – Trans nominations:
- Transfixed’s “’Anonymous’ Can Include Us, Right?” with Leilani Li and Jewelz Blu — classy, steamy three-way vibes.
- Evil Angel’s “Jade Venus & Zariah Aura TS-on-TS” — straight fire, no filler, exactly what fans crave when two top trans stars collide.
“It’s great to be recognized for doing what you love! Thank you, XBIZ, and my fans, for my nominations. It would be incredible to win any of these awards, and I’m hoping 2026 is the year it happens!”

Mark Your Calendar
The 2026 XMAs go down Sunday, January 18 at the Hollywood Palladium — the grand finale of the whole week of events. Red carpet is going to be stupid hot this year.
Zariah’s still booking direct ([email protected]) if any directors out there want to lock her in before her rate inevitably jumps again. Because if she finally grabs that Trans Performer trophy? Yeah… prices go up.
Third time really might be the charm. We’ll see on January 18.
