Meagan Good Wears Nigerian Label Weiz Dhurm Franklyn
American actress Meagan Good attended the Africa Creative Exchange Dinner in Lagos on November 9, 2026, with her husband, actor Jonathan Majors. For the occasion, she wore a white mini dress by Nigerian label Weiz Dhurm Franklyn, from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection.
The dress had a fitted bodice covered in rows of bronze, black and green beadwork. White straps ran over the shoulders. A long panel of white fabric fell from the side. Good paired the dress with a black clutch and black strappy heels.

Her hair was styled in voluminous curls with a side part, and her makeup was done in warm tones and a nude lip.
Her outfit draws inspiration from Igbo-Ukwu bronze art, which informed the label’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection. This influence can be seen in the bronze-toned beadwork and decorative details on the dress.
Other guests at the dinner included American actress Amandla Stenberg, basketball analyst Chiney Ogwumike, and actress Beverly Naya alongside filmmakers, actors, investors and other creatives from Africa and the African communities overseas.

Organised by Amplify Africa as part of its inaugural Diaspora Week Lagos, the dinner was held at Pitstop Village in Ikoyi. Good and Majors hosted the gathering, which brought together guests from the entertainment and creative industries for an evening of networking and discussions about African storytelling.

It has been months since her last public appearance, and just when it seemed we would have to wait longer, she resurfaced in black. Then again, we should not be surprised; when she decides to show up, she does it in style.
The actress attended Creative Africa Nexus, wearing a dress from Orire’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection. The Lagos-based label showed the collection at Lagos Fashion Week on November 1, 2026.

The black dress was floor-length, sleeveless and fitted at the top, with a deep V neckline. Gathered folds ran down the skirt from the waist, and long panels of fabric hung from both shoulders almost to the hem.
She paired the look with gold hoop earrings, a matching bracelet and a small black round clutch with a ruffled edge. Her hair was loose in soft waves with a side parting, and her makeup was done in warm tones with a nude lip.
Creative Africa Nexus Weekend, also known as CANEX WKND, is organised by Afreximbank, the African Export-Import Bank, and runs from November 5 to 8 at the Wole Soyinka Centre for Cultural and Creative Arts in Lagos. This is the first time Nigeria is hosting the event.

The gathering is billed as Africa’s largest for creative and cultural industries. People from film, music, fashion, sport, publishing and business are in Lagos, along with investors and policymakers, to discuss trade and financing for the sector.
This year’s theme is “One People, United in Culture, Creating for the World: From FESTAC ’77 to CANEX’27.” A major concert for artists from across Africa and the diaspora takes place on November 7, and the final day, November 8, is for cultural excursions and food activities.
In May, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, where the Red Sea Film Foundation honoured her at its Women in Cinema gala. There, she wore a brown outfit that slipped off one shoulder, with a ruched sleeve and a wide waistband. Her hair was worn long and straight, parted in the middle.
