The daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars of Phoenix is ready to win us over with the EP, which promises to be the soundtrack of the coming summer
After Deva Cassel, Apple Martin and North West, another child of famous parents enters the world of showbiz. This time it’s the Romy Marsher 17-year-old daughter Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, by the frontman of Phoenix, which made its official debut on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival, having also recently released its first EP. The latest Coppola to capture the spotlight comes from a dynasty of artists including Francis Ford Coppola, Talia Shire, Nicolas Cage, Gia Coppola and Jason Schwartzman. So he is called upon to prove that he has inherited the family talent and that he is not just another nepo baby.
Romy and her younger sister Cosima grew up splitting their lives between Paris and New York, away from the prying eyes of paparazzi and onlookers, with their parents banning public profiles on social media. The only exceptions? Some shots on outings with their parents and the 2020 Heaven by Marc Jacobs campaign, in which Romy, just 13 years old, wore and presented pieces from the collection.
The viral video on TikTok
The turning point for young Romy came last year when she posted a video on TikTok in which she attempted to make vodka noodles and it instantly went viral. “Make me a spaghetti with vodka sauce because I’m punished.” These are the words the teenager used to vent on social media. With no passion for the culinary arts, the then 16-year-old Romy candidly confessed that she didn’t know the difference between garlic and onion and had to Google it. She took up cooking to pass the time while stuck at home.
She revealed the reason: “I got punished for trying to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland with my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my girlfriend from camp.” While chopping and mixing, she showed us a bit of her surroundings, including her father’s Grammy Award, a dog, and Ari, her babysitter boyfriend. Romy even took a swipe at her parents, calling Ari and the babysitter her “surrogate parents” because “my parents are never home.”

What is Sofia Coppola’s reaction? In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the director said: “We tried to be very protective and social networks offer the opposite. This was the best way to rebel. I received many compliments on her presence. For her sense of comedy. She is funny. But having my parental authority discussed publicly is not in the realm of things I want heard.”
On the red carpet of Cannes
After removing the TikTok video, a few months later Romy followed her mother in the front row at various fashion shows and events during fashion week, including Anna Sui’s SS24 show. Its official debut took place at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. The 17-year-old accompanied her famous family members, including her grandfather, Francis Ford Coppola, to the premiere of the movie “Megalopolis.” They walked the red carpet together and posed for photographers. Romy wore an all-black Chanel ensemble: strapless dress, logo earrings, strappy heels and mini quilted bag with classic gold chain. She also wore a black and white tweed Chanel mini dress earlier during the photoshoot with her grandfather Francis, sister Cosima, great aunt Talia Shire and uncle Roman Coppola.

Romy Mars’ first EP
on May 22, Romy released two songs she wrote and performed on Spotify, following in the musical footsteps of her father, Thomas. The sound, described as “confessional pop”, is reminiscent of Olivia Rodrigo and Phoebe Bridgers. On ‘Stuck Up’, Romy tells the story of a summer adventure gone wrong, singing ‘I’m sitting on the edge of the pool / Until now summer’s been so cruel’, while ‘From a Distance’ is a ‘quirky bop with bedroom pop undertones’. According to Nylon, the tracks, produced by psychedelic pop artist Claud and Mikey Hart, who often collaborates with Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff, are “the song of the summer.” Romy Mars, however, suggests that we interpret them almost like mini-movies.
Romy Mars’ future plans don’t just include music
Romy has just entered the world of showbiz, so we have a lot more to hear about her. Sofia Coppola’s daughter has many talents and, by all accounts, she intends to show them off. Music is just one facet of her multi-faceted personality and a love that started early, when she began writing songs at the age of 12. In an interview with W magazine, the seventeen-year-old teased her next plans: A role in a still top-secret TV series. “I can only say that this is a comedy,” he said. “I loved the audition. It’s nice to play someone who’s not you.” So, will little Romy Mars be the next star of the Coppola family? It will be seen soon.
