The California city of West Hollywood has proclaimed 23 May Stormy Daniels Day.
In a ceremony at the Chi Chi La Rue sex shop, West Hollywood granted the adult film star the key to the city.
Ms Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, says she had an affair with President Donald Trump over a decade ago, and has sued him over a non-disclosure agreement about the relationship.
The president denies the affair.
In a Facebook post, the city said Ms Daniels "has proven herself to be a profile in courage".

"This community has a history of standing up to bullies and speaking truth to power, and I'm so very, very lucky to be a part of it," she reportedly said.
