Time flies, doesn’t it? It feels like just yesterday when Solange welcomed her son Daniel “Julez” Smith into the world, and now he’s 19, growing into a striking young man much like his footballer father, Daniel Smith.
But it’s clear that the Knowles genes run deep. In a viral snapshot featuring Julez alongside his iconic Aunt Beyoncé and cousin Blue Ivy, their Creole heritage shines through, with their uncannily similar facial features.
To mark his birthday month, the Houston native posed proudly in front of a white sprinkled cake, sporting a $450 green and yellow Denim Tears Madonna Rugby shirt adorned with the brand’s floral logo on the back. For those unfamiliar with the brand, Denim Tears, it’s the brainchild of designer Tremaine Emory, formerly the Creative Director of Supreme, and draws inspiration from the African Diaspora.
Emory’s Denim Tears line has garnered collaborations with esteemed brands like Ugg, Champion, and Dior, earning favor among celebrities such as Cardi B & Offset, Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, and Lori Harvey.
Julez has blossomed into a poised and stylish young man, and it was heartening to see him revel in his special day alongside Aunt Bey and cousin Blue, who recently concluded the Renaissance Tour in Kansas City on Oct.1.
