Julez Smith, Beyoncé’s nephew and son of Solange Knowles , walked the runway at the Off-White spring 2025 show during New York Fashion Week on Sept. 8.
The 19-year-old was dressed in a sleeveless black hoodie adorned with colorful, abstract graphics that infused his look with a vibrant, youthful energy. His pants continued the graphic-heavy theme with coordinating abstract motifs that tied the whole look together seamlessly.

Creative director IB Kamara told WWD’s Emily Mercer that the collection started in Ghana, the home country of the brand’s late founder Virgil Abloh. “Their similar life experiences shaped the collection’s connection between African craft and futurism and American sportswear ( extending from fall ), which Kamara fused to create a New York-bound, modern global traveler’s wardrobe.” The graphics were in collaboration with Ghanian contemporary artist Nana Danso.

Celebrity guests on the front row included Mary J. Blige, Camila Cabello and Paris Jackson.
Smith has been steadily building his presence in the fashion industry, having made his runway debut at the Luar fall 2024 show during New York Fashion Week in February, where he walked in a statement-making voluminous leather coat. Supported by his mother Solange, aunt Beyoncé and grandmother Tina Knowles from the front row, Smith’s runway debut was a family affair.
Following up on his New York debut, Smith took to the runway again for Bluemarble’s spring 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week in June, where he sported a dazzling jumpsuit covered in crystal beads, complete with a hoodie and an embossed message on the back that read, “Are You Lonely? Call Me.” His European debut underscored his versatility and willingness to take fashion risks.
Beyond the runway, Smith has also been making waves with his off-duty style. He was spotted at the Marc Jacobs x Highsnobiety event on Sept. 5, wearing a vintage HBO Sports jacket with red seam lining over a Jacquemus T-shirt, and was seen in a graphic tee at the On Running Clubhouse Nights opening in Brooklyn on Aug. 21.
Solange she be proud. He's trying to make his own way except for when people say Beyonce's Nephew what about Solange Knowles son. Solange is a force to be dealt with. My only hope is he continue his education cuz he doesn't have Solange or Beyonce money.🙏🏿
