Beyoncé’s Nephew Julez Smith Models Graphic Look for On Running’s U.S. Open Clubhouse Party
Julez Smith helped On Running celebrate the 2024 U.S. Open season on Thursday, attending the brand’s Clubhouse Nights in New York City. The event combined tennis, music and community at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Smith, who is the son of Solange Knowles and her ex-husband Daniel Smith, wore a graphic T-shirt featuring a photo of a baby and “Happy Baby Birthday” and “V.I.P” printed on it. He paired the look with black wide-leg pants and matching work boots, adding to his street style-inspired look.

Smith caught the fashion world’s attention in February after his runway model debut at the Luar fall 2024 fashion show in New York, which was attended by his mom, as well as his aunt, Beyoncé, and grandma, Tina Knowles. He has since walked the runway for Versace and Bluemarble.
On Running Clubhouse Nights featured a live game play between tennis stars Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli. The match was narrated by Chris Black and Jason Stewart, hosts of the “How Long Gone” podcast. After the game, the court was transformed into a dancefloor with help from Yaeji, Memphy, Oscar N? and Young Teesh, who were in charge of the music.
Actor Thomas Doherty also joined the celebration, wearing a satin black set with a collarless cropped jacket.
TikTok influencers Benton Mcclintock and Davis Burleson, model Sofia Harmanda and stylist Meghan Stimac were also in attendance.
On’s Clubhouse Nights is part of the promotional efforts the brand has made this year. In June, On announced Zendaya as a new brand partner. The actress was chosen to “drive meaningful conversations around movement and well-being, reimagine select product collections and produce future creative campaigns,” as WWD previously reported.
