Naomi Kawase - Cannes 2011, Photo call ' Henzu No Tuski'

Japanese director Naomi Kawasi attended the photo call of her movie Hanezu No Tuski at Cannes this afternoon.

I was amazed by how graceful her look was on the Red carpet in this beautiful tradition inspired dress/robe.

The off-white overlay with golden prints and cowl neck created a very breezy and summery look and golden dusted dress (underneath) lent elegant layer to the whole outfit.

My knowledge of traditional Japanese garments is limited at best, any of you know any better - do share.

The stole that she carries and the head piece have Japanese flag colors , but I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into it.
