HOLLYWOOD — If she hasn’t already, Vanna Bardot may want to invest in a custom trophy case.
A big one.
After all, it’s hard to imagine that Bardot’s mantle or dresser is spacious enough to display all of the hardware she’s collected since the beginning of 2024.
Four months after earning the industry’s top honor from both XBIZ and AVN, Bardot on Sunday was named Female Performer of the Year at the XRCO awards—a triple crown sweep that was last accomplished by Emily Willis in 2021/2022.
Wearing a forest green dress, Bardot accepted her trophy on the stage at Boardners in Hollywood, where hundreds of her peers and colleagues gathered for the 40th rendition of XRCO’s gala.
The 24-year-old Bardot also sported a necklace with Vixen Media Group’s silver “V” pendant resting just above her bronzed chest. The ode to the studio titan was fitting, considering Bardot’s Vixen showcase, “Influence: Vanna Bardot,” also won “Best Release.”
In just five quick years, the Florida native has gone from a 19-year-old known for her braces to a high-end model to a performer who is now one of the most successful—and versatile—performers in all of porn.
“From the very beginning, Vanna had a mindset for her career path that was very impressive,” said Mark Schecter, the ATMLA agent who has represented Bardot for four-plus years. “It wasn’t one of those things where she catapulted and went vertical initially. That’s not always a good thing. I think it was both her and our management style that enabled her to maintain a nice, steady pace in her career.“
Hosted by Caitlin Bell and Lauren Phillips, with newcomers Savanah Storm and Taylor Nicole serving as trophy girls, Sunday’s XRCO awards show was one of the most well-attended in history.
