Sofia Coppola's Daughters Romy, 18, and Cosima, 15, Make an Incredibly Rare Public Appearance With Their Mom at Paris Fashion Week
Director , a long-time friend of the house of Chanel, attended the brand's Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025/2026 show on July 8 with two special guests: her daughters, Romy, 18, and Cosima Croquet Mars, 15. The trio's front-row appearance marked a rare public outing for the teens, whose parents have famously prioritized raising them outside of the Hollywood spotlight.
Coppola and her husband, Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars, have been intentional about providing a normal, private upbringing for their daughters, a stark contrast to the celebrity-focused worlds their mother often portrays on screen. The girls are seldom seen at industry events, making their presence at the exclusive Paris Fashion Week show a noteworthy occasion.
The rare glimpse into the family's life highlights a deliberate choice in an era of constant exposure. This commitment to privacy made waves in 2023 when elder daughter Romy, 18, posted a now-famous viral TikTok video. In the short clip, she humorously lamented being grounded after attempting to charter a helicopter with her father's credit card, all while casually outing herself as a "nepo baby." The video offered a brief window into a life her parents have worked diligently to shield, and it quickly made headlines.
Their appearance in Paris, however, is directly linked to their mother's storied career and her deep-rooted connection with Chanel. Coppola's journey with the iconic fashion house began long before she was an Oscar-winning director; as a teenager, she interned for the brand under the tutelage of the legendary Karl Lagerfeld. This formative experience blossomed into a lifelong friendship and professional collaboration.
Today, Coppola is a Chanel ambassador. She has lent her eye to the brand, creating short films and campaigns that capture the essence of Chanel's mystique. Her presence at their shows is not only that of a celebrity guest but also of a valued creative partner, making her daughters' attendance a natural extension of that relationship.
Coppola is best known for her acclaimed filmography, which is marked by a unique, atmospheric style. From her breakout debut The Virgin Suicides (1999) to the film that won her an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, Lost in Translation (2003), her work often explores themes of alienation, youth, and the quiet melancholy of modern life. Her impressive catalog includes visually rich films like Marie Antoinette (2006), the critically lauded The Beguiled (2017), for which she won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, and the recent, intimate biopic Priscilla (2023).
For a filmmaker who has masterfully explored the complexities of life lived in the public eye, it is clear that for her own family, privacy is the ultimate luxury.

My Brain Literally Cannot Process These 15 Absolutely Baffling Photos
Hello again, and welcome to our roundup of the most confusing photos we found on Reddit this week. Check out last week's if you missed it — and let's get right into it! person who took this picture admits they have no clue what it is. Can you explain? Some people on Reddit say it is spray insulation on a ceiling, and some people think it is a carpeted ceiling. Others say it is something from an art gallery. What do you think? Related: kind of animal is this? A Turkish Angora cat that looks like a dog! you explain what is going on in this photo? It is two different people! The person taking the selfie has a black apron on, but under the mirror, there is a cutout area, and you can see the legs of the other person, who is wearing a brown apron on the other side. picture is not photoshopped. What happened? Exactly what you think, but don't want to believe! A tree fell and you were seeing the end of it. Related: this a river or something else? There is actually a lorry on the right side of the truck (a lorry is a large truck used to transport goods). The river is to the left of the tree. who approved this trash can box design? What looks phallic is actually just a cutout of where you put your hand in to pick up the box. Not the best spot, though! are these two people looking at? It is a lake that is reflecting the sky. Related: people are actually the same height. How can this be so? If you look at the right hip of the person on the right, you can see they are far behind the person on the left. The fannypack in the person on the left's lap conceals this but you can see the edge of their left hip. what about these two people? Does one have a stump for the lower half? No, no. The person in the back is sitting on the stump and the person in the light jeans is on their lap. is grabbing this woman's thigh? Thankfully, it is the lady herself. She is holding her hand in a weird way, with her pinky at the top (it is her left hand). this really eight people swimming in tubes??? It is actually planktonic tunicate — sea animals that typically attach themselves to docks, rocks, or the underside of boats. 12.10 points if you can guess what this is... Related: A flamingo floatie!!! this a celestial being in the sky? Unfortunately, it is just a cricket. these humingbirds get stuck in this feeder? Nope! The birds are in front of the glass! lastly, are these bridesmaids really nude?! Come on, you know they're just wearing strapless dresses! Do you have a really, really, REALLY confusing photo that you think we need to see?! Add it in the comments below, and you could be featured in our next weekly roundup of stumping people!

Matty Healy's Mom Has Nothing Against Taylor Swift, But Is ‘Glad' She's Not Her Mother-In-Law
Matty Healy's mom, the English actor and TV personality Denise Welch, barely tried to hold back when discussing her son's brief, tumultuous relationship with Taylor Swift on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live. Expert orchestrator of mess that he is, Andy Cohen pointedly asked Welch about her reaction to Swift's last album, The Tortured Poets Department, which contained several songs about her time with Healy (and the media firestorm it caused). Welch began her response diplomatically, saying, 'Obviously, on pain of death, can I talk about that episode?' before proceeding to, more or less, talk about that episode: 'But not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost.'

But let's just say her tone left little doubt over what she actually meant, eliciting gasps from both Cohen and the audience. In extremely British fashion, Welch quickly couched her comment by insisting, 'Not that I have anything against her at all! It was just — it was tricky.' She went on to suggest that Healy and others were 'not allowed to say anything' about the relationship or break-up, but then Swift wrote 'a whole album about it.' Welch then said, 'Matty has taken it all in completely good grace. He's very happy with his amazing fiancée, Gabriella [who uses the stage name, Gabriette], who is gorgeous. So, we've moved on.' A rep for Swift did not immediately return a request for comment. Healy, for his part, has actually said a few things (although in often somewhat vague terms) about his time with Swift. And as for whether he had any songs about the relationship or break-up planned, Healy said on the Doomscroll podcast last year that he wasn't interested in mining those experiences for the next 1975 album. 'I think that that's an obvious thing to draw from. And I'm just not interested in it,' he said, adding: 'The idea of making a record about something that personally happened to me, that by the time I put it out is gonna be like two years old, I see people doing that as well, and it's not interesting.'
