Actress Dinh Ngoc Diep - the director's wife - shared: "Since I was little, I always liked wearing ao dai, especially white ao dai. After participating in the movie The Last Wife of Mr. Victor, I noticed that everyone, every family can wear ao dai very comfortably, wear it to go out anywhere, anytime. Since then, I love the Vietnamese ao dai even more.

From the four-panel, five-panel dresses or traditional costumes in movies, or more noble outfits, I feel proud to be a Vietnamese woman. Our Vietnamese identity exudes from our costumes."

In addition, during the Green Hair and Ao Dai Festival, the organizers also have activities in the Youth Cultural House such as Vietnamese Costume Road, Vietnamese Love Songs, Re-Reproducing Ancestors, Ethnic Cultural Space and Cultural Space of Countries.
