In the colorful and varied world of adult entertainment, certain aesthetic details become true signatures of the performers. Our column dedicated to the traits that define the most beloved pornstars therefore continues, and this time we turn the spotlight on a detail that often catches the viewer’s eye: the lips, full ones in particular.
Lips have always played an important role in the viewer’s interest within porn. Just think that some production companies have even chosen to put this part of the body in the foreground at the very start of a video, right as the studio is named: the obvious example is Naughty America. What’s more, some actresses choose to have their lips enhanced rather than their breasts.
The range of performers who have made full lips a distinctive trait is wider than one might imagine. It spans from veterans like Nikki Benz and Veronica Avluv, who have marked entire decades of the industry, to more recent faces like Emma Starletto, proof of how this feature cuts across generations and very different performing styles.
In this selection, we explore the talent of ten pornstars with full lips who – over the years – have helped bring value to one of the most popular categories on adult websites.
Nikki Benz
The first pornstar with full lips on this list is Nikki Benz, an adult performer we told you about in the selection dedicated to 10 Canadian pornstars to know. Benz is loved, however, not only for her voluminous lips but also for her iconic enhanced breasts. To appreciate her at her best – besides the scenes already mentioned – we also suggest Hot New Anal Fun With Nikki for True Anal with Mike Adriano and Porn Veterans Unite for Bang Bros with Tommy Pistol.
Riley Steele
Born in 1987, Riley Steele hails from San Diego, California. After working as a barista at Starbucks, she made her porn debut in 2008, having travelled to Hollywood and met pornstar Jesse Jane (who encouraged her to try this career). Her debut came with production company Digital Playground, with which she later signed an exclusive contract. Over the course of her career, Steele has also appeared on the covers of various adult magazines, including Hustler and Penthouse.
Her must-see videos, where her essence is distilled and her full lips are showcased, are Riley Steele makes fan’s birthday memorable (a B/G scene made for the themed studio Tonight’s Girlfriend), Roommates Or More? (a girl/girl scene shot for Brazzers alongside pornstar Elsa Jean) and Riley Steele Is Back For More (an anal scene shot with Mike Adriano for True Anal).
CJ Miles
CJ Miles was born on April 13, 1984, in the Philippines. Her porn debut dates back to 2018, at around the age of 34. After her start, she underwent breast augmentation surgery that took her to a 32DD cup. According to her official Brazzers bio, Miles holds a degree in information management and reportedly uses the skills gained during her studies to manage her own career in the adult industry.
The pornstar in question is very active on her official PornHub channel, where she has published more than 215 videos. The most viewed one (with 6.8M views) is a B/G scene shot with Johnny Sins. To appreciate her on the sets of some of the best-known production companies, we also recommend She’s Got a Craving for Mid-Day Cock for Brazzers and Happy Endings for Bang Bros.
Juelz Ventura
Juelz Ventura is no new name to our selections. We told you about this South American pornstar, also loved for her tattoos, in the piece dedicated to 10 Brazilian pornstars you absolutely need to know. Especially prized for her oral skills, her lips helped make her one of the most popular Latina actresses of the past decade. In addition to the videos already recommended, we mention Buttfuck The Bride (shot for Brazzers) and Juelz Ventura fucking in the bedroom with her tattoos (shot for Naughty America, for the My Dad’s Hot Girlfriend series).
Destiny Cruz
Destiny Cruz was born in San Diego, California, on March 15, 1996. Her porn debut is relatively recent, dating back to 2020, when she was 24. That said, before appearing in various mainstream pornographic productions, Cruz reportedly started out filming amateur videos with her ex-boyfriend and posting them on various porn sites, already racking up around a hundred pieces of content published in the very year of her debut. According to IAFD, she reportedly retired in 2025.
To best understand this adult performer’s style, you can watch several titles, extremely varied from one another. On one hand, there’s Horny Janitor Takes Schoolgirl’s Virginity, shot for MOFOS; on the other, Friendly Neighbor Deserves a Foot Fuck, for Love Her Feet. We close the round-up with the double penetration released by Tushy Raw, whose extended trailer is available on the studio’s official PornHub channel.
Jessa Rhodes
Jessa Rhodes was born in Oregon on June 29, 1993, into a very large family: just think that she is the youngest of seven siblings! A former nude model, she then debuted in the adult entertainment industry in August 2012, shortly after turning 19. Her first scene was shot for Reality Kings alongside J. Mac, under the title Hungry for money. Over the course of her career she won a single AVN Award: the one for Best Group Sex Scene thanks to After Dark. Away from the set, she was in a relationship for several years with male pornstar Xander Corvus.
Among this pornstar’s must-see productions, we can mention first of all Lovely In Latex, shot alongside Keiran Lee for Brazzers. Then comes her first anal sex scene shot for Tushy Raw, one of those released when the site launched: an extended trailer of that film is available on the studio’s official PornHub channel. Jessa Rhodes, beyond her lips, is also especially prized for her feet: for that reason, the last scene we recommend is Sneaky Sauna Sex for Love Her Feet.
Aletta Ocean
Aletta Ocean could not be missing from this list either, already known to readers (also) because she featured in the selection dedicated to 10 Hungarian pornstars. Her full lips, together with her enhanced breasts, are among the most iconic in the entire history of porn. In addition to the videos already mentioned, to get to know this actress better and appreciate how she has evolved over time, we recommend first of all Aletta Ocean gets fucked, a 2020 remaster of one of her older videos released for Naughty America. Also worth watching is Aletta Ocean Anal Thumping by Bang Bros.
Emma Starletto
Emma Starletto was born on August 5, 1999, in Phoenix, Arizona. Fascinated by the world of erotic models, she moved into the industry right after coming of age. Her debut dates back to August 2018, the year she had just turned 19. In 2020, she released her first anal sex scene for the themed studio True Anal, thus showcasing her backside too.
The content where her strengths and talents stand out includes – among others – Emma Starletto seduces her friend’s dad (a B/G scene shot for the My Daughter’s Hot Friend series by Naughty America) and Bigger Than Her Boyfriend’s Cock (an interracial scene signed by She Loves Black). Closing the round-up is a ménage à trois, shot for DogFart Network and available in full and for free on the studio’s PornHub channel.
Richelle Ryan
Richelle Ryan was born on July 11, 1985, in Rochester, New York State, into a family with Italian roots among others. After working as a stripper at the Paper Moon Club in Richmond, she moved to Los Angeles and made her porn debut in 2006. Before this life-changing move, the pornstar underwent breast augmentation surgery. She has reportedly said that her favorite part of her body is her breasts.
The videos to watch and rewatch by Richelle Ryan are BBC Makes A Goal (an interracial POV published on SheLovesBlack), Busty babe Richelle Ryan gets back at cheating husband by fucking Kyle! (a scene from the Dirty Wives Club series by Naughty America) and Richelle Ryan on The Hunt (a video in which the pornstar hops aboard the famous Bang Bus, dealing with several young performers).
Veronica Avluv
Closing our list is Veronica Avluv. Born in Rowlett, Texas, on November 23, 1972, she worked for years as a stripper in Dallas and then as an erotic model. Her porn debut is fairly late: just think that she entered the adult film world at the age of 37. She was married more than once, most recently from 1996 to 2013, the year her husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack.
This pornstar is especially prized both for her sinuous full lips and for her ability to squirt – so much so that she was included in our list dedicated to the queens of squirting. Besides the scenes already mentioned, then, to appreciate her at her best we can also mention Veronica Avluv – Busty Milf’s Asshole Fucked for DDF Network, as well as her ménage à trois with Cytherea and Johnny Castle for MYLF (available in full and for free on the studio’s official PornHub channel).
These ten pornstars with full lips show how a single facial feature can become a real mark of recognizability, one capable of defining an entire on-screen identity. From the veterans to the more recent performers, each of these pornstars with full lips has managed to make the most of this feature in her own personal way.
