‘You are a star’: A-lister couple’s daughter keeps going viral

The daughter of an A-list couple keeps going viral and she looks just like her famous mum.

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.
