Solange Knowles gave Ferragamo’s codes a front-row spin in Milan on Saturday, arriving at the house’s spring 2026 show in pointed booties marked by gold F-buckle hardware. The dark leather pair, cut with slim heels and squared vamps, delivered a sharp punctuation to the brand’s archival mood.
Knowles paired the booties with a leather skirt split to the knee and a utility bomber with heavy pockets. Sunglasses and a fur stole gave dimension, while the buckle at her shoes cut the cleanest link to Ferragamo’s house codes.

The emphasis on leather and metal accents echoed Maximilian Davis’ runway. His spring 2026 collection reinterpreted the 1920s with what he told WWD’s Miles Socha was “a movement which I really feel connected with, where people were rebelling against society, creating their own spaces, speakeasies and dressing for themselves — especially women.” That framing tied the collection’s textural focus to a wider idea of independence, where materials like patent, calfskin and hardware were not just decorative but symbolic. That tension surfaced in slouchy tailoring, glossy patent reprised from 1998, and a focus on Gancini clasps.

Knowles’ booties played directly into that language. The gold buckle drew on the house’s legacy of functional hardware, while the pointed silhouette carried the polish Davis applied to even his most relaxed shapes. The look aligned with Socha’s review of the show as “sultry, soigné and lounge-oriented” — qualities visible in Knowles’ monochrome palette.
Her Milan appearance follows a month of steady fashion visibility. Just weeks earlier, she supported her son Julez Smith Jr. at Luar’s spring 2026 runway in New York, where he logged his third turn for the label.
