Things are heating up for Ariel Demure, and it’s not just because of her fiery on-screen performances. The multi-award-winning trans superstar has just snagged two major nominations for the 2025 Urban X Awards, landing in the running for both Sexiest Trans Star and Transgender Star of the Year.
After a year packed with high-profile projects and personal creative ventures, the recognition feels like the perfect cherry on top for Demure, who has been a whirlwind of activity in the studio and behind the camera.
A Year of Passion and Power
So, what’s got everyone talking? It’s been a massive year for Demure, who has been a dominant force in scenes with top-tier studios and directors. But perhaps most impressively, she took the reins herself to self-produce a passion project, Gorgons & Goddesses. This move taps directly into the growing industry trend of creators taking charge of their own content, building their brands from the ground up, and telling the stories they want to tell.
Her excitement about the nominations is palpable, and she’s giving all the credit to the people who have been cheering her on from the sidelines.
“I’ve had some great projects over the past year with some of the best studios and directors in the biz,” Demure shared. “But to be nominated and win awards for all of this on top of this has just been incredible. I can’t thank my fans and friends enough for nominating me.”
The sentiment highlights a crucial part of today’s industry: the direct line between creators and their audience. Fan votes and social media buzz are more powerful than ever, and Demure’s connection with her supporters has clearly made an impact.
Celebrating Diversity and Pushing Boundaries
The Urban X Awards have long been celebrated for their mission to honor diversity and performers of color, making a nomination here especially meaningful. The event, set to be a star-studded night at the Regent Theater in Los Angeles, promises to be a major highlight of the industry calendar. This year’s show will be hosted by a dynamic trio: Isiah Maxwell, Lacy Lennon, and Ebony Mystique.
Demure’s dual nominations place her among the elite talents being recognized for their artistic contributions and influence within the multicultural landscape of adult entertainment.
