My best guess for the woman in the brown dress that made a movie about Japan is Sofia Coppola, who won Best Screenplay for Lost in Translation. However, photos from 2004 show her wearing purple. There's a few women that wear brown though. Maybe the joke is he's confusing her with Julia Roberts or Charlize Theron?

The rest of the paragraph mentions how classy Uma Thurman's dress was in comparison. That is probably a joke, since her 2004 dress was controversial:

I also thought about Sophia Coppola but saw the purple dress pictures. And good call on the Uma Thurman mention! Ran out of room to talk about that.
