Julez Smith, the son of Solange Knowles and nephew of Beyoncé, walked the runway in Paris on Saturday. The model appeared at Kidsuper’s Fall 2025 show, which featured designer Colm Dillane wearing BAPE.
Smith modeled a plaid jacket made up of varying brown swatches in a drip pattern, teamed with two-tone pants with button snaps down the sides. The look was part of the show titled “From a Place I’ve Never Been,” which mixed fashion and performance art with the help of artist Daniel Wurtzel.

The Fall 2025 collection for Kidsuper consisted of a mix of outerwear, tops, bottoms, hats, sneakers, clogs, accessories and more, drawing on Dillane’s long-standing interest in Bape. “I’ve always been inspired by Bape and even the Bape camo, which is super, super iconic,” the designer told WWD of the collection. “I had done my light version with eyes and faces. So when we had the chance to literally mix them together, it was really cool because it looks like a perfect mix of our designs. “
The collection, which marks the first elevated collective collection with Bape, arrives in stores and online this spring and will retail between $150 and $600.
In June, Smith made his Paris Fashion Week debut, walking the runway during the Bluemarble Spring 2025 show. Smith modeled a metallic look in the show, consisting of a rhinestone totted jumpsuit and a pair of silver shoes.
Since then, Smith has walked the runway for Jil Sander’s Spring 2025 show during Milan Fashion Week. In September, he modeled a cream satin top with floral appliqués and baggy cargo pants for the brand. He also walked the runway at Off-White’s Spring 2025 New York Fashion Week show.
Smith made his runway modeling debut last February at the Luar Fall 2024 fashion show in New York in front of his mother, Solange, his aunt, Beyoncé, and his grandma, Tina Knowles.
