Beyoncé’s Nephew Julez Smith Models for On Running’s U.S. Open Clubhouse Party

Julez Smith helped On Running usher in the 2024 U.S. Open season on Thursday by attending the brand’s Clubhouse Nights event in New York City. The celebration blended tennis, music, and community gathering at Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Smith, who is the son of Solange Knowles and her ex-husband Daniel Smith, sported a graphic T-shirt featuring a baby photo with “Happy Baby Birthday” and “V.I.P” printed on it. He paired the outfit with black wide-leg pants and work boots, crafting a street style-inspired look.

Smith made headlines in February when he debuted on the runway at the Luar fall 2024 fashion show in New York. His mom, aunt Beyoncé, and grandma Tina Knowles attended the event. Since then, Smith has walked the runway for renowned brands like Versace and Bluemarble.

On Running Clubhouse Nights featured a live tennis match between stars Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli. Chris Black and Jason Stewart, hosts of the “How Long Gone” podcast, narrated the match. After the game, the tennis court evolved into a dance floor, with music provided by Yaeji, Memphy, Oscar Nñ, and Young Teesh.

Actor Thomas Doherty joined the celebration, donning a satin black outfit with a collarless cropped jacket.

TikTok influencers Benton Mcclintock and Davis Burleson, model Sofia Harmanda, and stylist Meghan Stimac also attended the event.

On’s Clubhouse Nights are part of the brand’s promotional activities this year. In June, On announced Zendaya as a new brand partner. The actress was chosen to foster important conversations around movement and well-being, reimagine product collections, and lead future creative campaigns, as previously reported by WWD.
