All the Red Carpet Looks From the 2025 Golden Bee Awards
'I hope this means that I'm going in the right direction and I have been making decisions that I am creatively behind, decisions that make me feel fulfilled,' Barbie told Cosmopolitan of her award on the red carpet. 'I'm happy other people also feel that way.'
The ceremony held additional significance because it marked 100 years of cinema in Malta, and Russell Crowe made a surprise appearance to discuss it while accepting a Malta Film Legend Award.
'Twenty-six years ago, you could say, in a funny way, I became a man in Malta,' Russell Crowe he told the crowd. 'For whatever films I'd done before then, nothing had the majesty, ambition, and budget, and ultimately, reach of Gladiator.' Gladiator filmed on the island and was followed by Game of Thrones, Jurassic World, Enola Holmes 3, and many others.
Clearly, Malta has much to celebrate. And the stars were out to do just that at the 2025 Golden Bee Awards. Ahead, see red-carpet photos from the evening.

MASTER AND COMMANDER: FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD Finally Sets Sail on 4K Blu-ray with Steelbook Edition — GeekTyrant
Director Peter Weir's Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is finally getting the 4K treatment it deserves, and it's arriving with a stunning Steelbook edition that feels tailor-made for collectors and naval warfare geeks alike. Released in 2003, Master and Commander is an adaptation of several of Patrick O'Brian's novels, set during the Napoleonic Wars in 1805. It stars Russell Crowe as Captain Jack 'Lucky Jack' Aubrey and Paul Bettany as ship's doctor and naturalist Stephen Maturin. While it earned 10 Academy Award nominations (including Best Picture), the film's legacy has grown over time, now celebrated as one of the most detailed and grounded historical epics ever made. Crowe himself famously came to the film's defense in 2021, clapping back at a post that mocked the movie for not being exciting enough. He wrote: 'That's the problem with kids these days. No focus. Peter Weir's film is brilliant. An exacting, detail oriented, epic tale of fidelity to Empire & service, regardless of the cost. Incredible cinematography by Russell Boyd & a majestic soundtrack. Definitely an adults movie.' This is a film that prizes character, realism, and atmosphere over spectacle. The bond between Aubrey and Maturin gives the movie its emotional core, and Weir's attention to detail, from naval tactics to period-accurate wardrobe, cements it as a film that rewards viewers who appreciate craft. The new 4K Blu-ray drops on August 5 and comes equipped with Dolby Vision HDR and Atmos audio. The Steelbook packaging is also a highlight: featuring an illustrated cover of Captain Aubrey, a compass rose design on the back, and a moody interior shot of Crowe braving stormy seas—it has the look of a weathered maritime journal pulled from a captain's quarters. Bonus features include: Deleted Scenes Historical and Geographical Trivia Track Pop-Up Map For fans who want to experience it how it was meant to be seen, 20th Century Studios is hosting a special one-night-only 4K theatrical screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on August 1 as part of Beyond Fest. It's a rare chance to feel the full power of cannon fire and crashing waves on the big screen. If you already love this film, this release is a no-brainer. And if you've never seen it? Now's your chance to climb aboard.

Bixie Short Hair Style for Summer 2025
If the bob and the pixie had a chic, low-maintenance baby (humans could never), it would be the it's officially the haircut of the summer. It's the birthing renaissance, hairstyle edition! You heard it here first, folks. But why is it the cut of summer 2025? Well, the flirty fusion of a style, the bixie is low-maintenance, high-impact, and is the epitome of an "I woke up like this" haircut. Plus, the shorter length helps beat the heat while still offering enough shape for versatile styling. Whether worn tousled and beachy or sleek and polished, the bixie is super customizable. Don't just take my word for it, though. To really understand what defines the cut, as well as who it's best suited to and how to style it, we tapped the brilliant brain of Tom Smith, hairstylist, trend forecaster, and Cosmopolitan contributing expert, who, below, breaks down the buzz. The more time passes, the more convoluted hairstyle names get; from Italian bobs and French bobs to shags and even wolf cuts (confusing, much?!). The bixie, however, is simpler than you would think, combining the best of the bob and pixie. "The bixie is a grown-out pixie shape that is not quite a bob but has enough length to frame the face," Tom says. "A fusion of a pixie cut and a bob, the shape offers the texture and head-hugging nature of a short pixie cut, while the extra length allows the shape to frame the face similar to a bob without the characteristic squareness of a traditional bob shape." So, just think of it as a pixie cut, circa two months post-snip! The bixie is a soft cut with rounded edges, so it can work really well on those with more angular, square face shapes. That said, as Tom explains, there is more versatility because of its length; "There's more to play with rather than a traditional pixie." "It can also be a great option for those with thicker hair who struggle with bob shapes looking too 'mushroomy', as this shape evenly distributes the thickness of the hair," Tom says. Overall, there are perks to the bixie for all hair types. "Fine and flat hair can be given more body with this shape, wavy and curly hair will get much more lift and volume, while textured hair will sit more angular in this shape, flatter on the sides, lower at the nape, and fully on the top," says Tom. Tick, tick, ticks across the board! Good news! Tom shares that a well-cut bixie should fall into shape easily with minimal styling. *Snoozes alarm for an extra 10 minutes in bed* "For definition and texture, you can enhance your bixie with soft pomades or wax sprays," says Tom. And those with straight hair types looking for a bit of grit can add soft bends and waves into strands with a straightener or a curling wand.
