As you say, approximated. I agree with that as I have done some 
incursions in that territory in the past. However, when you look at the 
really fine details of their fabrics, you are shown things which are 
pretty hard to simulate with textures, like the fine filaments from the 
threads. These kind of details are rarely necessary in a scene, but they 
certainly increase the natural effect of the lighting on them.
