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.’

Much of her content is surprisingly relatable to that of her peers. Romy shows off her outfits, shares room tours, her hangouts with friends, and promotes her music

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.
