Golden girl Julia Roberts turns on the charm in kimono-style dress for Tokyo premiere of her new film - After failing to set box offices alight in the Western world with her new film, Julia Roberts will be hoping for a better reception in the Far East.
So to possibly try to butter up her Japanese fan base, she took inspiration from the country's traditional dress.
The actress arrived at the premiere of her latest film Eat, Pray, Love in Tokyo today in a kimono-style gold dress.

It showed off her tall, willowy figure as she took to the stage at the Roppongi Hills Arena to talk to press and fans who had gathered there to see her.
Julia, 42, and husband Daniel Moder, 41, flew into Narita Airport on a private jet yesterday and they plan to spend a few days exploring the country.
And despite a film career that has spanned two decades, this is her first ever visit to Japan.
Yesterday she held a press conference and photo call in Tokyo hours after arriving.
But she avoided giving a proper answer when asked why it had taken her so long to visit the Land of the Rising Sun.
She said: It's just my good fortune to finally find myself here in Tokyo with all of you nice people.'

And she shared a little beauty secret when asked about her youthful looks.
She said: 'The secret ingredient of beauty is being happy. And maybe a little Lancome eye cream.'
In the film, which is released in Japan on September 17, Julia plays a 40-something woman who travels to Italy, India and Bali after going through a painful divorce.
She told the Tokyo press conference she had been thrilled to get the call about the part and added: 'It's about excavating and nurturing what's inside of you, what fulfils you, what propels you.'
