Now both actors are fielding major brand deals, fashion week invitations, and award show presenting gigs. Williams in particular has become one of the two most in-demand actors in Hollywood seemingly overnight—a designation that would have seemed impossible just weeks ago.
Their approach to sudden fame has been notably graceful. Rather than shy away from the show that launched them, both lean into references and embrace the passionate fanbase that made their success possible.
Fashion as Character Extension
What sets Williams and Storrie apart from typical celebrity fashion moments is intentionality.
Each appearance feels like a continuation of their characters’ journeys. The ice-skate-adjacent boots aren’t just footwear—they’re a wink to Shane Hollander’s identity. Storrie’s loon brooch isn’t random jewelry—it’s a callback to pivotal show moments.
This approach creates a feedback loop where fashion choices generate conversation, deepen fan engagement, and keep the show in cultural dialogue even between episodes.
It’s smart celebrity branding that respects audience intelligence.
A “Biscuit in the Basket” Moment
In hockey terminology, “biscuit in the basket” means scoring a goal—and Williams absolutely scored with his Milan debut.
For Dsquared2, casting Williams brought fresh energy and tapped into one of the hottest cultural moments of the season. For Williams, opening a major fashion week show legitimizes him as a multi-platform talent beyond acting.
And for Heated Rivalry fans? It was pure validation that their beloved show has transcended streaming obscurity to become a genuine cultural phenomenon.
With fashion month continuing and award season still unfolding, expect more headline-making moments from both Williams and Storrie. Their whirlwind month shows no signs of slowing down.
The Après-Ski Look That Broke the Internet
Williams strutted down a snowy runway setup that perfectly complemented his winter-sport-inspired outfit.
Key pieces included:
- Layered outerwear that nodded to mountain lodge luxury
- Scrunched leather pants adding edge to the cozy aesthetic
- Hard ski boots with an ice-skate vibe—the detail fans immediately connected to Shane Hollander’s hockey career
Social media exploded with reactions. Fashion insiders praised the look’s playful sophistication, while Heated Rivalry fans flooded timelines with screenshots and theories about whether Williams chose the boots himself or if the styling team knew exactly what they were doing.
Could Connor Storrie Be Next on the Runway?
Rumors are already swirling that Storrie might make his own runway debut before fashion month wraps.
Given the duo’s coordinated press tour moments and their willingness to embrace fashion as storytelling, it wouldn’t be surprising. Both actors have shown they understand how clothing can extend character work beyond the screen.
Their styling choices have consistently rewarded fans who pay attention—from jewelry references to fabric choices that echo show themes.

Now both actors are fielding major brand deals, fashion week invitations, and award show presenting gigs. Williams in particular has become one of the two most in-demand actors in Hollywood seemingly overnight—a designation that would have seemed impossible just weeks ago.
Their approach to sudden fame has been notably graceful. Rather than shy away from the show that launched them, both lean into references and embrace the passionate fanbase that made their success possible.
Fashion as Character Extension
What sets Williams and Storrie apart from typical celebrity fashion moments is intentionality.
Each appearance feels like a continuation of their characters’ journeys. The ice-skate-adjacent boots aren’t just footwear—they’re a wink to Shane Hollander’s identity. Storrie’s loon brooch isn’t random jewelry—it’s a callback to pivotal show moments.
This approach creates a feedback loop where fashion choices generate conversation, deepen fan engagement, and keep the show in cultural dialogue even between episodes.
It’s smart celebrity branding that respects audience intelligence.
A “Biscuit in the Basket” Moment
In hockey terminology, “biscuit in the basket” means scoring a goal—and Williams absolutely scored with his Milan debut.
For Dsquared2, casting Williams brought fresh energy and tapped into one of the hottest cultural moments of the season. For Williams, opening a major fashion week show legitimizes him as a multi-platform talent beyond acting.
And for Heated Rivalry fans? It was pure validation that their beloved show has transcended streaming obscurity to become a genuine cultural phenomenon.
With fashion month continuing and award season still unfolding, expect more headline-making moments from both Williams and Storrie. Their whirlwind month shows no signs of slowing down.
Williams and co-star Connor Storrie have been everywhere lately.
Just days before his runway debut, Williams presented at the Golden Globes wearing an open-chested Giorgio Armani ensemble complete with a waist-snatching cummerbund and a statement Bvlgari snake chain. Storrie opted for sleek Saint Laurent tailoring, accessorized with a custom Tiffany & Co. brooch referencing “the cottage” and a loon—another Easter egg only Heated Rivalry fans would catch.
Their press tour fashion has become appointment viewing in itself, with both actors leaning into playful references that reward close watchers of the series.
Why Dsquared2 Was the Perfect Runway Match
Williams opening for Dsquared2 wasn’t just celebrity stunt casting—though the brand does have a history of that.
Founded in 1995 by twin brothers Dean and Dan Caten, Dsquared2 has built its identity around a specific brand of North American hotness. Think maple leafs, flannel shirts, trapper hats, and rugged outdoor aesthetics translated through high-fashion Italian tailoring.
The Caten brothers are Toronto natives. Williams grew up in Kamloops, British Columbia. The connection runs deeper than just passport stamps—it’s cultural alignment.
Dsquared2 is arguably the most Canadian brand to ever present at Milan Fashion Week, making Williams’ debut feel like a homecoming of sorts, even on Italian soil.
The Après-Ski Look That Broke the Internet
Williams strutted down a snowy runway setup that perfectly complemented his winter-sport-inspired outfit.
Key pieces included:
- Layered outerwear that nodded to mountain lodge luxury
- Scrunched leather pants adding edge to the cozy aesthetic
- Hard ski boots with an ice-skate vibe—the detail fans immediately connected to Shane Hollander’s hockey career
Social media exploded with reactions. Fashion insiders praised the look’s playful sophistication, while Heated Rivalry fans flooded timelines with screenshots and theories about whether Williams chose the boots himself or if the styling team knew exactly what they were doing.
Could Connor Storrie Be Next on the Runway?
Rumors are already swirling that Storrie might make his own runway debut before fashion month wraps.
Given the duo’s coordinated press tour moments and their willingness to embrace fashion as storytelling, it wouldn’t be surprising. Both actors have shown they understand how clothing can extend character work beyond the screen.
Their styling choices have consistently rewarded fans who pay attention—from jewelry references to fabric choices that echo show themes.

- Scrunched leather pants adding edge to the cozy aesthetic
- Hard ski boots with an ice-skate vibe—the detail fans immediately connected to Shane Hollander’s hockey career
Social media exploded with reactions. Fashion insiders praised the look’s playful sophistication, while Heated Rivalry fans flooded timelines with screenshots and theories about whether Williams chose the boots himself or if the styling team knew exactly what they were doing.
Could Connor Storrie Be Next on the Runway?
Rumors are already swirling that Storrie might make his own runway debut before fashion month wraps.
Given the duo’s coordinated press tour moments and their willingness to embrace fashion as storytelling, it wouldn’t be surprising. Both actors have shown they understand how clothing can extend character work beyond the screen.
Their styling choices have consistently rewarded fans who pay attention—from jewelry references to fabric choices that echo show themes.
The Meteoric Rise of Two Canadian Actors
Just one month ago, Williams and Storrie were relatively unknown outside niche streaming audiences.
Heated Rivalry changed everything overnight. The show’s exploration of a secret relationship between rival hockey players struck a chord with viewers craving authentic queer storytelling in sports settings.
Now both actors are fielding major brand deals, fashion week invitations, and award show presenting gigs. Williams in particular has become one of the two most in-demand actors in Hollywood seemingly overnight—a designation that would have seemed impossible just weeks ago.
Their approach to sudden fame has been notably graceful. Rather than shy away from the show that launched them, both lean into references and embrace the passionate fanbase that made their success possible.
Fashion as Character Extension
What sets Williams and Storrie apart from typical celebrity fashion moments is intentionality.
Each appearance feels like a continuation of their characters’ journeys. The ice-skate-adjacent boots aren’t just footwear—they’re a wink to Shane Hollander’s identity. Storrie’s loon brooch isn’t random jewelry—it’s a callback to pivotal show moments.
This approach creates a feedback loop where fashion choices generate conversation, deepen fan engagement, and keep the show in cultural dialogue even between episodes.
It’s smart celebrity branding that respects audience intelligence.
A “Biscuit in the Basket” Moment
In hockey terminology, “biscuit in the basket” means scoring a goal—and Williams absolutely scored with his Milan debut.
For Dsquared2, casting Williams brought fresh energy and tapped into one of the hottest cultural moments of the season. For Williams, opening a major fashion week show legitimizes him as a multi-platform talent beyond acting.
And for Heated Rivalry fans? It was pure validation that their beloved show has transcended streaming obscurity to become a genuine cultural phenomenon.
With fashion month continuing and award season still unfolding, expect more headline-making moments from both Williams and Storrie. Their whirlwind month shows no signs of slowing down.
