All the Red Carpet Looks From the 2025 Golden Bee Awards
Last week, the mediterranean was positively buzzing. The 2025 Golden Bee Awards took place on June 29 in Malta, capping off the third Mediterrane Film Festival at the historic Fort Manoel. Guests—including Russell Crowe, Rising Star Award winner Barbie Ferreira, Anna Camp, Bailey Bass, Chris Perfetti, and Karen Pittman–arrived to the ceremony by boat to celebrate 100 years of film in Malta and the 2025 Golden Bee winners.
'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.
