Vanniall has pulled off an awards-season hat trick, winning ‘Favorite Trans Model’ at the 2026 Pornhub Awards after already taking home 2026 honors from the XMA Creator Awards and Trans Erotica Awards (TEAs).
The fan-voted Pornhub win adds a third major 2026 trophy to Vanniall’s run, following her XMA Creator Award for ‘Trans Premium Social Media Star of the Year’ and TEA Award for ‘Pornhub Model of the Year.’ Together, the wins spotlight her reach across premium social media, tube platforms, fan voting and creator-driven visibility during one of the strongest award seasons of her career.
“This is honestly wild in the best way,” said Vanniall. “Winning ‘Favorite Trans Model’ means so much because fans had to show up and vote, and to have that happen after winning at the XMA Creator Awards and the TEAs makes this whole season feel unreal. I’m grateful, excited and maybe a little overwhelmed – but mostly I’m proud that the work is reaching people in so many different spaces.”
Vanniall’s Pornhub Awards recognition follows a standout year on the platform, where she has built more than 72,000 subscribers and 24.5 million views while continuing to expand through studio work, premium social media, live appearances and her upcoming Studio Vanniall productions. The Studio Vanniall site launch and DVD line debut is slated for later this year.
