Hudson Williams opens Dsquared2 show in Milan with snow-covered runway debut

Pagesix reported that 'Heated Rivalry' star Hudson Williams, 24, opened the Dsquared2 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week on Friday.

He led the show down a snow-covered staircase and along a faux-snow catwalk that appeared to be an ode to the forthcoming Milan Winter Olympics. Williams wore snow boots and a deconstructed jean jacket with maple leaves down the sleeves; his shirt underneath appeared to be labeled "Canadian Winter Games," and a trucker hat was fastened to his distressed jeans. Other models wore beanies, gloves, bedazzled parkas, heel-less versions of the snow boots, winter catsuits and similar winter gear.

The show was themed around the upcoming Milan Olympics 2026, which will feature winter sports including hockey, luge, skiing and figure skating. Designers Dean and Dan Caten hail from Toronto, where much of the series was filmed, and Williams is a British Columbia native. The Catens previously showed ice skate–inspired heels in 2011 that were revived for the brand’s fall 2025 collection. Williams and co-star Connor Storrie have risen from virtually unknown to leading men, and Williams appeared on the Golden Globes 2026 red carpet earlier this week in a Giorgio Armani dinner jacket and cummerbund; we can only imagine what else he has planned for the rest of 2026.
