Who is Romy Mars? Sofia Coppola’s Daughter, Chanel Couture Guest, and Rising Pop Star

Romy Croquet Mars, the daughter of acclaimed director Sofia Coppola and French musician Thomas Mars, is quickly becoming a name to know in the worlds of fashion and music. Just 18 years old, Romy recently made a stylish appearance at Chanel’s Haute Couture Autumn/Winter 2025 show in Paris on July 8, seated front row alongside her famous mother and younger sister Cosima.

Chanel Debut and Paris Fashion Week

Romy attended her first ever Chanel couture show, wearing a pastel blue cashmere dress from the brand’s Fall 2025 collection, paired with a classic quilted Chanel handbag. The Coppola family coordinated their outfits in soft pastels for the glamorous occasion, capturing media and fan attention alike.

A Hollywood Legacy

Born into a family of filmmakers and musicians, Romy Mars is no stranger to the spotlight. She is the granddaughter of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola and the daughter of Sofia Coppola, who is best known for Lost in Translation and other cult-classic films. Her father, Thomas Mars, is the frontman of the popular French band Phoenix.

Despite her young age, Romy has already appeared in fashion campaigns and made waves in the music industry.

From Fashion to Music

Romy started her public career at age 13, when she starred in a campaign for Heaven by Marc Jacobs in 2020. This was no surprise, as Sofia Coppola has long been a muse and collaborator of designer Marc Jacobs. Over the years, Romy has built her own personal brand of effortless cool and creativity.

In 2024, she released her debut EP titled Stuck Up, marking her official entry into the pop music scene. Her latest single, “A-lister”, dropped in June 2025. In the track, she leans into her “nepo baby” identity with humor and self-awareness, poking fun at the privileges and absurdities of celebrity life.

Lyrics from A-lister reference her dating a famous person and comment on the glamorous but shallow aspects of wealth and fame.

Helicopter Scandal and Media Buzz

Romy first grabbed media attention in 2023, when she was grounded by her parents for attempting to charter a helicopter using her dad’s credit card — just to have dinner with a friend. The incident went viral and introduced the world to her mix of charm, boldness, and privilege.

What’s Next for Romy Mars?

Between her growing music career, appearances at high-profile fashion shows, and famous family background, Romy Mars is firmly in the spotlight. Whether she continues in music, fashion, or even acting, she’s embracing her role as a Gen Z icon — one who isn’t afraid to laugh at herself.
