Heated Rivalry star Hudson Williams just made his runway debut at Milan Fashion Week. The Canadian actor fittingly walked for Dsquared2, an Italian label founded by brothers Dean and Dan Caten, who were also born in Canada like the actor. The brand presented its Fall-Winter 2026 Co-ed collection at the fashion show on January 16, 2026, with Williams as a surprise model.
Williams opened the Dsquared2 runway, built to resemble a snowy mountain-top. For his big moment on the catwalk, he was styled in an ultra layered look, which featured a distressed jean jacket atop an army green bomber. Upon closer look, you'll see a row of Canadian maple leaves up and down the arm sleeves of the jacket, a nod to the actor's and the founders' shared heritage. The statement piece was paired over another jacket with a varsity-striped collar and a graphic shirt underneath. He also wore a pair of black fitted jeans, which were crumpled over a set of chunky almost knee-high black snow boots.
The debut runway look doesn’t feel too unfamiliar for Williams. While playing fan-favorite hockey player Shade Hollander in Heated Rivalry, we saw him among the ice and in winter gear quite a bit. But now, we’re seeing the star take on a number of new feats.
Making a splash at Fashion Week is just the latest for him. Williams has already made his presence known in the beauty world with his meticulous routines. From breath and scent to skin care and glutes, he has seemingly mastered it all.
He also just presented at the Golden Globes in California earlier this week, alongside Heated Rivalry co-star Connor Storrie. With the second season of the spicy romance show already confirmed, we’re sure to be seeing a lot more of the dynamic duo across industries.
