A Indiana native, Alexander created an immediate buzz when she entered the industry as a fresh-faced 18-year-old last November. Within months she’d been booked for Vixen Media Group’s “Deeper” banner, a huge honor for a performer so new to the industry. The reviews were so positive that VMG has already invited Alexander back multiple times. BANG!, Team Skeet and Naughty America were among the other A-list studios to shoot Alexander in 2024—and her first scene for Brazzers dropped in August on her 19th birthday. Alexander has already taken on noted swordsmen such as Jax Slayher, Mike Adriano and Quinton James. “I’ve loved everything about this journey so far,” Alexander, who is with Hussie Models, said. “I can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Carter debuted in May by taking on Isiah Maxwell in BBC Surprise, and she’s been on a roll ever since. The 25-year-old from Boston checked an item off of her bucket by appearing on Blacked Raw (with Damion Dayski) just a few months into her career. And she’s excited about some recent shoots with Melody Marks for MissaX. Carter has appeared in about 30 scenes thus far and is still holding onto her anal card. “At least for now,” says Carter, who is repped by Elite Talent Direct. “My goal is sustainability. I want to be here as long as I can and not get burned out.”

Say this about Doh: she knows how to make a first impression. Whether she’s at an industry party or on a porn set, Doh is as friendly of a performer as you’ll find in the industry, an intangible that will take her a long way. It also helps that Doh is walk-into-a-pole gorgeous, which will help her generate even more attention when directors and producers come across red-carpet pictures and other content on her social media platforms. Doh, who is with ATMLA, has already shot multiple scenes for MYLF.com along with a handful of other studios. With mammoth networking opportunities on the horizon in January, things should really take off for Doh in 2025.

Cox was working in healthcare when she and her husband opened their marriage and started recording their exploits as a “kinky passion.” But their life quickly changed a year later when Cox began posting the videos online. By 2023 she had racked up 454 million views on PornHub, prompting the adult site to crown her as its Amateur Model of the Year. Cox, who turned 40 in October, began shooting studio content in 2024 and quickly became a Vixen contract star. Her scenes for the studio’s MILFY banner are a must watch

With a 34G bust size, a soft innocent face and an overall girl-next-door appeal, Faith has drawn comparisons to Gabbie Carter, one of the most successful stars of the early 2020s. Faith is certainly on a similar trajectory. Less than a year into career, she’s primed to break into the PornHub Top 100 list (she’s currently at No. 104) and has already amassed nearly 250,000 followers on Twitter. Faith signed an exclusive contract with Vixen Media Group in July. Her debut for “Deeper” was released last month along with her fourth appearance on Blacked in 2024. The latest scenes is an orgy that also includes Kendra Sunderland and Angel Youngs, two of the biggest stars in the industry. It’s no surprise to see VMG pairing Faith with such A-listers, as she will eventually be regarded in the same realm, if she’s not already.

A top candidate for AVN’s Best Trans Newcomer award, Hayes broke into the industry over the summer after experiencing a high level of success on her content platforms. Hayes, who tops and bottoms, has already shot multiple times for TransAngels and Grooby. And her scene with Zariah Aura for TransErotica is a must watch. Hayes is a Canada native—she’s good friends with fellow northerner Angellica Good—who should see a significant increase in opportunities if she relocates to Las Vegas or Los Angeles.

A popular exotic dancer from San Diego, Hunter has a laundry list of attractive traits, but “sex appeal” ranks right at the top. The jaw-dropping outfits she wears to events …the eye contact she makes during a conversation … the sultry poses she strikes for still photos with veteran lensmen such as Dean Capture. Simply put, Hunter is impossible not to notice. And her picturesque posterior is simply the cherry on top. Hunter debuted in the spring and has been on an uptick ever since. Shoots for Evil Angel, BANG!, Mike Adriano, Team Skeet and Elegant Angel have been highlights thus far, but bigger things are sure to come for Hunter, who continues to enhance her brand with savvy social media skills—and stellar performances.

A 39-year-old former hairstylist, Lan spent four years posting content on OnlyFans before transitioning into studio work in May. She told her agent, Alex Mack with Hussie Models, that her ultimate goal was to shoot for Brazzers, and that milestone was achieved after just two months. Lan popped her anal cherry with Jonni Darkko and has also worked with pipe-layers such as Mick Blue, Rob Piper and Isiah Maxwell. She appeared in Kira Noir’s Brazzers showcase “Kira on Display” and has shot around 40 scenes overall in just seven months. For her efforts, the 5-foot, 99-pound Lan was named as a finalist for XBIZ’s prestigious Newcomer of the Year award.

The surging trans talent entered the industry less than a year ago and has already worked multiple times for top studios such as Adult Time, TransAngels, Gender X and Grooby. Lust excels as both a top and a bottom and has a sterling reputation for her professionalism on set. Lust—a leading candidate for AVN’s Best Trans Newcomer award—is one of the more physically-stunning performers in her genre. If she puts in work, she could certainly become one of the top five trans stars in the industry within the next year or two.

Everything about Luxx screams “superstar.” The 5-foot-9 former runway model may have the prettiest smile in the industry. She walks with pristine posture and poses for stills like a seasoned veteran, making her a favorite of the porn paparazzi on the red carpet. Luxx’s cascading auburn hair has become her trademark, differentiating her from just about every performer in porn. Luxx entered the industry last fall but truly started to surge around May. She’s already shooting anal scenes, which has created opportunities with Jules Jordan, Elegant Angel,  BANG! and other top studios. Luxx will serve as a Trophy Girl at next month’s AVN Awards, a fitting honor for a performer who is sure to be a top candidate for Best New Starlet a year from now.

After flourishing for years as a high-profile cam model, Mistakes decided to give studio porn a try last spring by appearing in a movie for ForPlay, an indie production brand led by Inka Winter. The experience was so positive that Mistakes decided to surge forward with mainstream shoots. Fans of adult films are glad she did. After signing on with InVision Models, Mistakes shot her first scene with noted pipe-layer Charles Dera, who was so impressed that he immediately rebooked her. Soon after, Mistakes filmed a scene for Net Video Girls (NVG) that has amassed 1.5 millions views and counting on PornHub. She’s also become a favorite of Mike Adriano, the lucky middleman in a scintillating threesome with Mistakes and Best New Starlet nominee Gal Ritchie. Mistakes, 29, is often lauded for the amount of time she spends engaging with fans—and even she has said her ability to hold a conversation is one of the biggest reasons for her success. Still, anyone who watched Mistakes in 2024 knows that along with delivering a pretty smile and good vibes, she churns out high-level performances, too.

A former restaurant manager from Utah, Moon entered the industry in late 2023 but shot just two scenes before taking on a full schedule in recent months. Among her 30-plus credits are a pair of scenes with reigning XBIZ Performer of the Year Zac Wild that should create a buzz. The second one—an anal romp for Evil Angel’s “Oiled Up” series—should be released soon. Moon is also proud of a scene with Alex Jett for BANG! that opened with some flirting and flashing in a local park. Moon is a fan of public and risky sex in her personal life. Before joining the industry, she was a cam girl and enjoys traveling the country in her car.

The opportunities keep coming for Phoenix, the 18-year-old newbie who appears to be doing everything right since debuting earlier this year. Elegant Angel, MissaX and BANG! are some of the big-name studios that are glad they took a chance on the petite newcomer. And Phoenix recently shared the screen with A-list talent Melissa Stratton for Naughty America. With more than 30 scenes already under her belt, Phoenix will be in line for a Best New Starlet nomination a year from now if she continues to work at this pace.

Renae shot a handful of scenes in the fall and winter of 2023 before deciding in January to take on a full shooting schedule. “I just really, really loved it,” Renae said. “I realized that this is what I wanted to do, so I committed myself and pushed forward.” Studios (and porn fans) are glad she did. Renae shot more than 40 scenes in 2024 for high-profile studios such as Brazzers, Adult Time, Nubiles, MILFY and BangBros. Renae, 36, is certainly comfortable in front of the camera, having been a high-earning model on MyFreeCams for nearly five years before launching her OnlyFans platform in March of 2023. Renae’s Twitter handle “@huneybaked” stems from her days of working at a Honey Baked Ham store in New Orleans before dancing at the Penthouse gentlemen’s club at night. “Some of the customers at the club knew I worked there, so they told me to make it my stage name and it just stuck,” says Renae, who is married to male performer Richard Glaze.

Standing 5-foot-9, Sloane is a classic beauty with gorgeous long legs, silky black hair and a warm, disarming smile that makes her impossible not to like. Smitten with her sex appeal, studios such as Brazzers, Blacked, Evil Angel, Team Skeet and BANG! booked Sloane in 2024, when she shot approximately 40 scenes. Among the highlights was a threesome involving her close friend, Xxlayna Marie, and Mike Adriano that left the internet abuzz. Sloane has as much promise and potential as anyone on this list. Her ceiling is high. With the proper push and backing by her management—which would include landing her some acting roles—Sloane could explode in 2025.

Anyone who takes one look at Suxx probably has the same thought: “How could she not succeed?” The beauty-magazine face, the movie-star smile and flawless tan skin, the Baywatch blonde hair that dangles over a perfectly-proportioned body … Suxx checks every box. Including this one. “You have to be a real pervert to succeed in porn,” she says, “and I’m definitely one of them. I tried to be a normal citizen for a while but I just couldn’t do it.” A Rhode Island native, Suxx debuted in April of 2023—for Brazzers, no less—but shot sparingly over the next year before deciding to go full throttle in April. Suxx, who books independently, developed a large following on Reddit and OnlyFans before transitioning into mainstream.

A fitness enthusiast from Portland, Thomas boasts one of the best backsides in porn. Don’t believe us? Just ask the folks at BangBros, who shot one scene with Thomas and immediately called her agent at InVision Models book another one. Ask Ricky Johnson, who was so impressed after directing Thomas in an anal scene with Alex Jones that he booked another one featuring himself as the talent. Or ask Mike Adriano, who insists that Thomas, 22, is one of the best performers he’s shot all year. Thomas’ popularity is certainly enhanced by her personality. The former sales and customer service agent is known for her upbeat attitude and professionalism on set. Those things–along with her stellar performances—will take Thomas a long way in 2025.

Agent Mark Spiegler added Vaunt to his roster after being introduced to her through performer/director—and fellow Spiegler girl—Casey Calvert. Vaunt spent 12 years as a runway model and was a Penthouse Pet and cover girl before launching an OnlyFans account in her native Seattle. Vaunt, 36, transitioned into mainstream this fall and quickly landed a shoot with the iconic Valentina Nappi for Slayed. She teamed with Best New Starlet candidate Gal Ritchie in a threesome for Team Skeet. With no tattoos or piercings, Vaunt’s all-natural body should help her score shoots with studios throughout the industry.

Vodka says she’s always been “extra pervy,” so it makes sense that she was telling friends back in middle school about her plans to become a porn star one day. She loves shooting “filthy” scenes for studios such as Hookup Hotshot but also excels at passionate situations, too. She has become a favorite of Mike Adriano and has shot with the elite swordsman multiple times. Overall, Vodka was a grinder in 2024, filming more than 70 studio scenes while also maintaining her content platforms. She fulfilled a personal goal by working for Blacked (with Isiah Maxwell), and she established a good reputation with her male colleagues as being a strong performer who absorbs herself in a scene. If Vodka continues at her current pace, she will be more than worthy of a Best New Starlet nomination in 2025.

The 23-year-old Wonderland—a Penthouse Pet in 2021—shot about 20 scenes in 2024 and was quick to make an impression. Reality Kings, BangBros, Team Skeet and Elegant Angel each had her on their sets along with Vixen, which booked her in a scorching scene with surging male talent Parker Ambrose. Still, Wonderland’s most memorable performance may have been with Ryan Mclane for NubileFilms. It certainly caught the eye of PornCrush critic Patrick Patrick, who wrote that Wonderland reminded him of a young Jill Kassidy. That’s a high level of praise, but Wonderland appears to have all the tools to manufacture a similar level of success.
