Solange Knowles Cheers on Son Julez Smith Jr. at Luar’s NYFW Show

Solange Knowles was among the bevy of high-profile guests who attended the Luar spring 2026 ready-to-wear show during New York Fashion Week on Monday, supporting her son, model Julez Smith Jr., as he hit the runway for the fashion label.

Smith was among the first models on the runway, wearing look 14 for the fashion show and curated collection, by creative director Raul Lopez. Smith’s ensemble featured black trousers with a diagonal motif and strips of fabric flowing off the pants, along with a textural top with feathers, accessorized with sheer long gloves.

Solange Knowles, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s sister, wore a pair of baggy, extra wide-leg, low-rise denim with seam detailing and a Luar belt, along with a sleeveless top revealing the artist’s midriff. Knowles accessorized her look with black sunglasses and carried a small bag.

This stint marked 20-year-old Smith’s third time walking the runway for Luar — the first was in February 2024 for the label’s fall 2024 collection and the second came in February 2025 for the fall 2025 presentation.

Since those first few runway walks, Smith’s profile in the modeling and fashion world has only continued to grow. During Paris Fashion Week in June, Smith walked the runway for the 3.Paradis menswear show, wearing a vibrant fuchsia suit and coordinated sunglasses.

Prior to his Paris Fashion Week runway moment, Smith attended the GQ Bowl, modeling two looks on the arrival carpet. Smith is among a growing number of burgeoning models who hail from famous families.

Lila Moss (daughter of Kate Moss) and Grier Hammond Henchy (Brooke Shields’ daughter), among others, are also firming up their respective résumés in the fashion world, modeling for GapStudio, Tommy Hilfiger and more.
