Julez Smith posed on the red carpet in two different looks at the GQ Bowl. The model, who is also the son of Solange Knowles and nephew of Beyoncé, arrived at the event in a Bode robe jacket before shedding it while posing.
Smith debuted a look from the Bode Rec. Spring 2025 collection, which was unveiled with a runway show during the pre-Super Bowl event in New Orleans. He was sporting the Podium coat, which was inspired by a boxer’s robe from the late 20th century. Smith disrobed on the red carpet to reveal the brand’s sweatpants which he paired with a tank top and Bode’s Opera pump show that pays homage to traditional dress slippers and features a grosgrain bow accent.

Smith recently walked in KidSuper‘s show for fall 2025, which showcased designer Colm Dillane’s collaboration with Bape. He modeled a winter look and was styled in a plaid jacket consisting of varying brown swatches in a drip pattern, along with a pair of two-tone trousers with button snaps along the sides. His grandma Tina Knowles later posted photos of his runway appearance on her Instagram.
She was in attendance along with his mom Solange and his aunt Beyoncé when Smith made his runway debut last February at Luar’s fall 2024 fashion show during New York Fashion Week. For the occasion Smith was dressed in a sculptural leather suit with exaggerated shoulders and a cream shirt and tie.
