LOS ANGELES, CA — The Trans Erotica Awards (TEA) presented by Clips4Sale are proud to announce that Domino Presley will return as Mistress of Ceremonies for the 2026 Trans Erotica Awards, marking her seventh consecutive year hosting the industry’s premier celebration of trans excellence. The 2026 TEAs will be held on March 6 and 8 in Hollywood, CA.
“Mother’s back,” says Presley. “After seven years of hosting the TEA Awards, it somehow gets better and better every single time. First and foreskin, I want to thank Steven, Kristel, and the entire TEA team for trusting me year after year to get the job done—and done well.”
Presley also acknowledged the legacy of those who have previously hosted the ceremony.
“I want to shout out the former TEA Awards hosts—TS Madison, Jujubee, Nicole Paige Brooks (from Atlanta, Georgia), and Michelle Austin. They were all phenomenal, and I had a lot to live up to,” she continues.
“The TEAs would not be the TEAs without Domino,” adds TEA Executive Producer, Kristel Penn. “She is the heart and sass of our event. The TEAs will always be, first and foremost, a community event and one where we try our best to honor our performers. Domino has been a fearless and outspoken leader in our industry, and I cannot think of a better human to orchestrate the night as our Mistress of Ceremonies.”
The 2026 Trans Erotica Awards will be presented by Clips4Sale, further underscoring the industry’s commitment to uplifting trans creators, performers, and voices.
Looking ahead to the 2026 ceremony, Presley emphasized the importance of community and visible allyship. “This year, I’m especially excited to see the new talent, as well as performers from other sides of the industry who show up to support the trans community. Seeing allies truly ally is heart-warming, and with the way the world is right now, we could use all the real allyship possible. Istarted hosting the TEA Awards red carpet back in 2011 with Sparky Snakeden, Joan Rivers-style, and now I’m heading into my seventh consecutive year as your Mistress of Ceremonies.”
As always, Presley promises unforgettable fashion moments, confirming she will once again be stepping out in custom Chris Tyler gowns for the evening.
