"   Nothing says French-chic quite like Marc Jacobs&amp;#039; Josephine Baker-influenced spring 2009 collection for Louis Vuitton (case in point: ELLE&amp;#039;s catwalk to sidewalk spread in the June issue). Cannes, where I am right now, feels more Bardot than Baker\u2014think loads of breezy caftans worn sexily and simply over string bikinis and gladiators, topped off with huge sunglasses, bien sur. Evening is another story. Sandals are traded in for crystal-encrusted stilettos worn with floor-sweeping gowns. Playful touches can be found both day and night\u2014some favorites so far: an evening gown paired with a motorcycle jacket, a Marni blouse over a teeny bikini, and Chanel star-spangled trousers worn with a Hanes white tank. For all the glitzy, beachy, over-the-top Cannes street style, check back into ELLE.com next week.  \u2014Violet Moon Gaynor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
