Get ready to cheer, because the incredibly talented Ariel Demure is officially in the running for not one, but two prestigious titles at the upcoming 2025 Urban X Awards! After a year packed with powerful performances and a bold move into self-producing, Demure has landed nominations for Sexiest Trans Star and Transgender Star of the Year.
For anyone who’s been following her career, this recognition feels like the perfect celebration of her hard work and creative spirit. Ariel herself is over the moon, and she credits a year of pushing boundaries for the honor.
“I’ve had some great projects over the past year with some of the best studios and directors in the biz,” Demure shared. “I was also fortunate to self-produce my own passion project, ‘Gorgons & Goddesses.’ But to be nominated and win awards for all of this on top of this has just been incredible.”
A Year of Creative Control
That mention of ‘Gorgons & Goddesses’ is a huge deal. In an industry where creator-led content is becoming king, Demure took the reins to bring her own vision to life. Self-producing allows performers to tell the stories they want to tell, exactly how they want to tell them, moving beyond studio expectations and connecting directly with their audience. This nomination isn’t just for her performances; it’s a nod to her ambition and artistry as a creator.
Celebrating Diversity and Talent
The Urban X Awards have long been a vital platform, specifically created to honor and celebrate performers of color and diversity within the adult industry. Being nominated here is a significant achievement, underscoring a performer’s impact and resonance. For Ariel to be recognized in both a category celebrating her star power (“Sexiest Trans Star”) and one acknowledging her overall contributions (“Transgender Star of the Year”) speaks volumes about her influence.
Of course, Ariel knows she didn’t get here alone. She’s giving all the credit to the people who have been supporting her journey every step of the way.
“I can’t thank my fans and friends enough for nominating me,” she said. “It would be amazing to win one or both of these awards, so please vote for me.”
The big night is set for August 17th at the Regent Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, where the winners will be crowned. Will Ariel Demure walk away with a double victory? We’ll be watching!
