Hollywood royalty nepo baby goes viral by flaunting glamorous lifestyle and A-list company
A daughter of two A-list stars, who was once dubbed the 'ultimate nepo baby ', is forging her own path as a social media sensation. Romy Mars, the 18-year-old daughter of director Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, has been sharing her lavish lifestyle on TikTok and Instagram, with her posts garnering millions of views. Her famous parents met in the late 1990s while working on the set of Coppola's The Virgin Suicides. Her mom, 54 — who is the daughter Godfather filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola — is known for directing acclaimed movies like Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, while her dad, 48, is the lead singer of the indie band Phoenix. Romy, who also has a younger sister named Cosima, 15, is quickly making a name for herself, with her fans even hailing her as 'a star.' Given her parents' prominence, Romy often finds herself among A-listers, as seen in one of her viral clips from a private jet featuring Adam Driver, 41. The Oscar-nominated actor was promoting her grandfather's film Megalopolis in 2024, and Romy joined them at the premiere in Cannes. 'She stays flexing and I can't even blame her,' one fan commented on the clip, which saw Adam passing a bottle of what looked to be wine to another passenger. Romy also recently shared a post from a Chanel event which she attended with her famous mom, including a snap of countless bags from the designer. Just earlier this week, Romy shared a video of herself watching her dad performing on stage, with fans calling it 'iconic'. 'Having thomas mars as your dad, ICONIC,' one fan wrote. 'Having him and Sofia Coppola as parents it's unreal,' another added. In May, Romy shared a snap with singer Lana Del Rey, which has garnered nearly 50,000 likes. For her 16th birthday, none other than Jacob Elordi presented her with her cake. The Australian actor was the star of her mother's film 'Priscilla.' A picture of the pair also surfaced on socials, with Jacob slinging his arm around his boss's daughter. Romy first gained prominence in 2023 after sharing a now-deleted video, in which she claimed she was grounded for attempting to charter a helicopter to visit a friend using her father's credit card. In the clip she also admitted that her parents' 'biggest rule' was that she was not allowed to have public social media. 'But TikTok's not going to make me famous, so it doesn't really matter,' she rationalized. Her mother Sofia, who is known for fiercely protecting her family's privacy, later told The Hollywood Reporter she was 'not thrilled' about the viral moment. 'She's funny,' she said. 'But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would've hoped for.' Despite her previous claim that she was not permitted to have public social media accounts, she now has a public TikTok page with 395.5K followers, and an Instagram page with over 160K followers. She's also establishing herself through her music career, having recently released a song titled 'A-listers.' Romy also shows off her outfits, shares room tours, her hangouts with friends, and promotes her music. Though much of her content is surprisingly relatable to that of her peers, there are glimpses of affluence — including a recent video of her attending a Chanel ball. On Tuesday, Sofia also brought along her two teenage daughters to Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show. Romy towered over the Priscilla director while Cosima also stood slightly taller than their 54-year-old mother. Speaking to Vogue after the Chanel presentation, Romy called it 'the most beautiful show.' Last month, Romy released a new song in which she laments the emotional emptiness of wealth, fame and red-carpet glamour. Titled A-Listers, it details the hollowness of growing up in unimaginable privilege - complete with references to private yachts, LA mansions, and fake romances with other rich kids. And in a truly on-brand move, the music video was directed by none other than her Oscar-winning mother Sofia. In the new music video, Romy sings: 'Grant all of my wishes, riches to riches / And one day I'll be bored with everything that I've got / Get out of fancy clothes right after they get the shot.' And while some have praised her for being 'self-aware' or 'meta,' others see it as a tone-deaf example of a celebrity offspring using their connections to produce content that ultimately flaunts the very privilege it claims to critique. One viewer commented on the video: 'It's tasteless to call your multitudes of wealth that you didn't earn "a bore."' While another fumed: 'This is talentless, insufferable, overproduced, nepo-baby garbage, and no amount of astroturfing will change that.' Romy sings about her luxurious life that she also feels detached from: 'Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht / Just to feel something real,' And the chorus bluntly spells out the mood: 'Heartless, tasteless, nameless, famous / Never, ever on my waitlist.' Born in 2006, Romy grew up in New York's trendy West Village and spent summers in France, where her father was practising in his band. At the same time, she became well acquainted with the world of film, having accompanied her mother on set, along with her younger sister, Cosima. But when it came to promoting those same films on the red carpet, it was a strict no-go zone for the sisters. In 2017, during an interview with The Guardian, Sofia revealed why, saying: 'I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. I just want them to have a childhood.' Romy is part of the sprawling Coppola dynasty, which includes director Gia Coppola and Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage - Sofia's cousin. She was scouted for Marc Jacobs Beauty at just 13-years-old, and regularly appears at fashion weeks, film festivals and museum galas where her surname guarantees a front-row seat.

‘You are a star': A-lister couple's daughter keeps going viral
Romy Mars, the daughter of A-lister director Sofia Coppola and musician Thomas Mars, keeps on going viral. If you've missed the rise of Mars, you're probably just not on social media that much. The 18-year-old has garnered over 25 million likes on TikTok alone. Her parents met on the set of The Virgin Suicides in the late 1990s. Her mum, of course, is the director of acclaimed movies like Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, and her Dad is the lead singer of the indie French band Phoenix. Her parents didn't tie the knot until 2013, and Mars also has a younger sister, Cosima, and she grew up rubbing shoulders with celebrities because of her parents. It doesn't hurt that she also looks just like her famous mum. The 18-year-old came to prominence, though, back in 2023. When she shared a now-deleted video where she claimed she was grounded because she attempted to charter a helicopter to visit her friend and was caught using her dad's credit card. The clip may have been deleted but it introduced Mars to the masses with a bang, and to this day, no one can be one hundred per cent sure if she was joking or not. These days, she's making a name for herself with her music career. She released a song aptly titled A-lister this year that is getting buzz. Perhaps what makes Mars so refreshing is that she's not shy about acknowledging her famous parents. Earlier this week, she posted a video of herself proudly watching her dad perform on stage, and people loved it. 'Having Thomas Mars as your dad is iconic,' one praised. 'Having him and Sofia Coppola as parents is unreal,' another said. 'Having two iconic parents must be such a blessing,' one said. Aside from acknowledging her famous parents, the 18-year-old uses social media for all the usual stuff that teenagers do. She'll post room tours, videos of her hanging out with friends, or clips to promote her music. In typical teenage girl fashion, she also likes to vaguely mention a messy break-up with an ex, Most of the content she posts is pretty similar to what anyone her age would, but there's always a sprinkling of affluence. She recently shared a video of her trying on the designer brand Chanel and then attending a Chanel ball. People online were nothing short of obsessed. 'You're such an icon, I can't,' one wrote. 'You are a star! We love you.' 'Iconic behaviour,' someone else said.

The Godfather actress Sofia Coppola, 54, poses with her teen daughters who are both taller than she
Sofia Coppola brought along her two teenage daughters to Tuesday's Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-2026 fashion show. Romy, 18, towered over the Priscilla director while Cosima, 15, also stood slightly taller than their 54-year-old mother. The filmmaker stands at 5'4" without shoes, but the women all added height to their frames with classic round-toe Chanel heels. Sofia - who starred in The Godfather Part III - was dressed in a heather gray top, subtly patterned sky blue jacket, and white trousers. She accessorized with a quilted white Chanel purse, and her shoulder-length bob was styled in a side part and loose waves. Her children were equally fashionable, with her firstborn child clad in a pale blue shift dress with a fringed hemline. She toted a tiny, matching pastel box purse while punctuating the ensemble with Mary Jane style shoes. Romy's younger sister opted for a pink mini dress with a matching cardigan, adding two-toned slingback footwear. Speaking to Vogue after the Chanel presentation, Romy called it 'the most beautiful show.' Sofia shares her brood with longtime husband Thomas Mars, who is the lead singer of the band Phoenix. Their older daughter made headlines in 2023 when she went viral for revealing that her parents grounded her for trying to charter a helicopter. At the time, she'd uploaded a clip to TikTok explaining that she was punished for attempting to use her dad's credit card to fly from New York to Maryland 'to have dinner with my camp friend.' Romy shared that she was killing her time at home by making a vodka pasta sauce. In the clip she also admitted that her parents' 'biggest rule' was that she was not allowed to have public social media. 'But TikTok's not going to make me famous, so it doesn't really matter,' she rationalized. Her mother Sofia, who is known for fiercely protecting her family's privacy, later told The Hollywood Reporter she was 'not thrilled' about the viral moment. 'She's funny,' she said. 'But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would've hoped for.' In May Romy showcased her music ambitions as she released a catchy soft-pop tune called A-lister. And the nepo baby enlisted none other than her mother to direct its accompanying music video. Despite her previous claim that she was not permitted to have public social media accounts, she now has a public Instagram page with 160,000 followers.

Sofia Coppola's Daughters Romy, 18, and Cosima, 15, Make an Incredibly Rare Public Appearance With Their Mom at Paris Fashion Week
Sofia Coppola's Daughters Romy, 18, and Cosima, 15, Make an Incredibly Rare Public Appearance With Their Mom at Paris Fashion Week originally appeared on Parade. 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. Sofia Coppola's Daughters Romy, 18, and Cosima, 15, Make an Incredibly Rare Public Appearance With Their Mom at Paris Fashion Week first appeared on Parade on Jul 8, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 8, 2025, where it first appeared.

Sofia Coppola's Daughter Romy Mars, 18, Waxes Poetic on the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in Luxe New Music Video
Romy Mars, the daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, released a music video for her song "A-Lister" The music video features her swimming in a pool, getting snapped by paparazzi and possibly even eloping with a famous actor Romy previously went viral when she was 16 for a TikTok video she filmedAs a member of the Coppola family, Romy Mars was born into movie royalty — meaning she knows full well the true meaning of 'A-lister.' Romy, the 18-year-old daughter of Sofia Coppola and her husband, Phoenix rocker Thomas Mars, released a new music video for her single 'A-Lister,' a pop song she co-wrote that features tongue-in-cheek commentary on the surface-level lifestyles of the rich and famous. 'I love this golden sunny West Coast/Sceney plastic world/I miss being a real girl, sure/But I'm not a real girl anymore,' she sings on the song. Romy, who was raised in New York City, also sings about meeting and dating an actor, posting pictures from a private jet and dyeing her hair until she's a 'blonde bore.' 'One day I'll be bored/With everything that I've got/Get out of fancy clothes/Right after they get the shot/Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht/Just to feel something real,' she sings. In the music video, she shows off life in the lap of luxury, from swimming in a pool, getting snapped by paparazzi, getting styled by a team of three and possibly even eloping with a famous actor. Romy first launched her music career in May 2024 with the release of the singles 'Stuck Up' and 'From a Distance.' 'So proud of Romy's first 2 songs out today!' her Oscar-winning mom wrote on Instagram at the time. Romy — who has a 15-year-old sister, Cosima — previously went viral when she was 16 after she revealed in a TikTok video that she'd been grounded for trying to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on her dad's credit card to have dinner with a friend from camp. In the video, the singer also shared that she decided to film the TikTok — which showed her casually making a vodka pasta sauce — because she was "already grounded" and her parents' "biggest rule is I'm not allowed to have any public social media accounts." "Here's why," she explained while holding up a Grammy award with a sarcastic smile. "Because they don't want me to be a nepotism kid, but TikTok is not gonna make me famous, so it doesn't really matter.' In 2024, Romy had a small role in Megalopolis, directed by her grandfather, Francis Ford Coppola. Read the original article on People
