ModelForm widget assignment not working in meta class

I am trying to set a widget for a field in a ModelForm. I'd like to set it in the class Meta section with the other overrides but this doesn't seem to work:

class Meta:
    model = Client
    fields = ['name',]
    widget = {
        'name': forms.TextInput(attrs={
            'class': u'form-control'})
    }

Only this works:

name = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={
                             'class': u'form-control'}))
class Meta:
    model = Client
    fields = ['name',]

Other overrides, like labels, error_messages etc. all work when specificed in the Meta class.

How should I define a wdiget in the Meta class to get it working as above.

You forgot an 's' (its widgets not widget), also you don't need forms.Widget, just Widget.

class Meta:
    model = Client
    fields = ('name',)
    widgets = {
        'name': TextInput(attrs={
            'class': u'form-control'})
    }
