Romy Mars has been making a play for It-girl (and pop star) status in 2025. The daughter of filmmaker Sofia Coppola (see films: Priscilla, Marie Antoinette and The Virgin Suicides), and Phoenix lead Thomas Mars, Romy has become the teen queen of the moment.
Locking into a world of “nepo babies” by way of her viral (since-deleted) TikTok in 2023 — where she dished up her version of pasta alla vodka while grounded for using her dad’s credit card to charter a helicopter to visit a friend for dinner — Romy has captured the attention of Gen Z and the media, from Vogue to the New York Times and W Magazine. Recently, she released a song, aptly titled “A-Lister,” that’s put her on the radar of the music world, too.
It’s safe to say Romy’s about to be everywhere. If you want to say you were a fan before she became major, scroll on to read up on the emerging star.
