Clea Gaultier Bio
Clea Gaultier is a French adult model, porn actress, and director. She was born Gwënnaelle Awali on October 25, 1990, in Lyon, France. She has also been worked professionally as Clea Gauthier.
Clea Gaultier stepped into the Penthouse spotlight in December 2016 as a featured model at 26. Clea's work as adult model, porn actress, and director gave her Penthouse appearance a clear career context, while her brown hair, green eyes and 32-23-34 figure defined the feature's visual profile.
Clea Gaultier brings a distinctly European kind of heat to Penthouse—elegant on the surface, coolly controlled underneath, and sharpened by the confidence of a woman who understands exactly how much work goes into making glamour look effortless. Her December 2016 Penthouse appearance arrived at the beginning of a career that would soon grow far beyond a single pictorial, but even then there was already something composed about her image. She did not look like someone waiting to be discovered. She looked like someone who had already decided how she wanted to be seen.
Before moving fully into adult film, Gaultier had experience as a still-photo model, and that background shaped the way she approached performance. She later described her earliest adult scenes as a genuine adjustment: posing for photographs had taught her how to create an image, but motion demanded stamina, timing, and a different kind of physical discipline. That transition became the foundation of a remarkably durable career. Over the years, she expanded from modeling into acting and directing, building a professional identity that combined visual polish with increasingly confident screen work.
The industry eventually rewarded that evolution. Clea Gaultier became one of the more prominent French performers of her generation, earning the 2021 AVN Award for Female Foreign Performer of the Year. Further recognition followed with AVN nominations for International Female Performer of the Year, Favorite Female Porn Star, and Best International Group Sex Scene, while her later career also brought XBIZ Europa attention in the MILF category. She continued working well into the mid-2020s, accumulating a substantial filmography and demonstrating the kind of longevity that few performers manage.
Her image evolved with her career as well. Gaultier underwent breast augmentation near the end of 2019 and another procedure in December 2021, choosing larger 560cc implants as she refined the more voluptuous look associated with her later work. Yet the lasting appeal has never been about physical transformation alone. Penthouse caught Clea Gaultier near the beginning, before the awards and before years of accumulated recognition. What was already visible in December 2016 was the essential quality that would endure: polish with an edge, discipline behind the fantasy, and the quiet authority of a woman who knows the camera is already hers.
