Hollywood lit up this past week as both the XBIZ Media Awards (XMAs) Nomination Party and the AVN Awards Nomination Party took over Los Angeles. Each event brought its own red-carpet energy, but both shared a clear theme: bold glamour, confident styling, and outfits that perfectly captured the classic Hollywood aesthetic.

Due to tight timelines and the fast-moving pace of both events, not every guest had the chance to walk the carpet — meaning plenty of incredible looks never made it in front of the cameras. But for those who did walk, the fashion spoke loudly. These highlights represent the outfits that stood out in person, the ones that caught the light just right, turned heads, and showcased each performer’s style and presence.

Below are 15 standout red-carpet moments, presented in alphabetical order.

Alexa Chains

Alexa’s look channeled classic Vikki Dougan glamour with a boldly backless aqua gown that echoed the iconic silhouette of Hollywood’s “Backless Bombshell.” The clean styling and long earrings amplified the effortless elegance of the moment.

Alice Thunder

The gold tones of her dress complemented her overall look beautifully, giving her a warm, radiant presence on the carpet. The curve-hugging fit, paired with matching heels and a coordinated handbag, pulled everything together into a clean, polished moment.

Annie Vers

Annie delivered one of the standout looks of the XMAs for me, tapping directly into that timeless old-Hollywood charm I love. Her sleek black gown, paired with 1920s-inspired hair and a jeweled headband, created a perfect Gatsby-style moment on the carpet.

Ava Amira

Ava instantly stood out, not just as one of the 2026 AVN Trophy Girls, but because her lime-green dress was impossible to miss. The bright pop of color perfectly matched her bubbly, upbeat energy on the carpet.

Avery Lust

The blush tone, the beadwork, and the soft movement of the train made Avery’s gown pure elegance in person. But it was her big, joyful personality that truly brought the dress to life on the AVN carpet.

Chloe Amour

She wore this blue dress effortlessly, and the moment she stepped onto the X3 carpet, I knew she was going to make this list. The look was completed beautifully with her blue and silver heels, which tied the entire outfit together with clean, striking coordination.

Cubbi Thompson

This was one of the most unique fits of the night — a black mini-dress covered in iridescent detailing that instantly drew attention. The black rope weaving through the design added an extra layer of intricacy, making it one of the most detailed and visually interesting dresses on the entire carpet.

Emma Rosie

Emma always brings something uniquely her, and this fit was no exception — the red top proudly showcasing two dicks made me laugh, but it was precisely the kind of playful boldness you expect from her. Beyond the standout imagery, the red and black tones tied the entire look together in a fun, cohesive way.

Gizelle Blanco

Gizelle’s hip-high cutout made me pause for a moment — the dress was a complete head-turner on the carpet. Its simple silhouette became instantly dramatic with that cutout and her long legs, creating a clean, elegant look that only she could pull off.

Hime Marie

This look worked because every element complemented the next — the shimmering silver and white mini-dress paired perfectly with her matching clutch and heels. Her flawless makeup and naturally flowing hair tied everything together into a clean, cohesive moment on the carpet.

Jewelz Blu

Jewelz is always a reliable standout on the carpet, and this ruffled dress was no exception — it looked stunning from the front. But the real magic happened as she walked, with the small trailing train creating a cascading waterfall effect that flowed beautifully across the carpet.

Nicole Kitt

She wore this dress like no one else — the gold lattice mini-dress instantly caught the eye with its bold shine and striking detail. The warm tones paired with her perfectly styled hair made the entire look feel right at home in Hollywood, and it stands as one of my favorite fits from Nicole.

Octavia Red

Her deep-red textured dress, paired with a white fur shawl, was beautifully executed and instantly eye-catching. But the true standout was her hairstyle — soft waves framing her face and pulled into a pinned, effortless sweep that created a romantic, unforgettable finish.

Serena Hill

The photo doesn’t begin to capture how stunning this dress was in person — it shimmered without a single stone, relying entirely on the way each strand moved on its own. The fluid motion of the gold fabric gave her instant red-carpet glamour, and I genuinely wish this picture could show how alive the dress looked.

Tiffani Time

Jessica Rabbit was on full display here — a boldly bright red dress that sparkled from every angle under the lights. The high slit added extra sex appeal, but it was her contagious, vibrant smile that truly pulled the entire look together.

As we move deeper into awards season, both the XMAs and AVN Nomination Parties once again proved how much creativity, personality, and glamour performers bring to the carpet. Even with the rapid pace of the events, the looks that did make it in front of the cameras showed off a wide range of styles — from classic elegance to modern boldness and everything in between.
