The Emmy Award-winning Hollywood actress and star of Orange Is the New Black, The Residence, Mrs. America and others attended the ongoing Nigerian government-sponsored event, Creative Africa Nexus (Canex).
Uzo was a guest at the event, which took place on 6th November 2026, where she got to answer some questions on filmmaking and cinema culture.
She stepped out in this bodycon, zebra-print dress. It is by New York-based fashion label Et Ochs. Uzo Aduba wore their Xandra knit dress.
It is a high-neck, cap-sleeved dress, which made excellent use of zebra print to sculpt the silhouette while keeping every other design element plain.
The dress retails for £517, which, when converted, is approximately ₦930,324. Uzo wore silver accessories to complement the look: silver bags, silver shoes, and silver earrings. The entire look was styled by Ron Jeffries.
Her hair, which was styled in high-low curly braids, was done by Luxe Braids Nigeria, while her makeup was done by Nigerian-based MUA Bukola Bankole of Bukkyslay.
I love the way Uzo Aduba looked at the 2026 Canex event. I love how they styled the look. The elaborate print was complemented by the subtle but elegant tone of silver. Watch the whole look in motion below.
