Sofia Coppola recently introduced her teenage daughters, Romy and Cosima, to the world of high fashion by taking them to their first couture show. This took place over a few days in Paris, where the family attended Chanel events, including the Bal d’Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the brand’s couture fall/winter 2025 presentation. The occasion marked a notable moment of blending family life with the luxurious world of fashion, highlighting Sofia Coppola’s commitment to sharing this experience with her daughters.
The Family Front Row Experience at Chanel’s Final Collection with Matthieu Blazy Yet to Take Over
At Chanel’s couture presentation, the Coppola-Mars family sat front row, witnessing the fashion house’s last collection before Matthieu Blazy assumed creative direction. Alongside the mother and daughters was longtime family friend and Coppola collaborator Kirsten Dunst, who attended solo, diverging from her usual companion, Jesse Plemons. The presence of such close connections underscored the intimate blending of personal relationships within this high-profile fashion setting.
Outfits Inspired by “Marie Antoinette” Highlight Family’s Fashion Choices
The family’s outfits revealed subtle nods to Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film Marie Antoinette, which starred Kirsten Dunst. Sofia herself adopted a casual ensemble with white jeans, a gray t-shirt, and a blue collarless jacket, balancing comfort with style. Romy wore a sleeveless blue knit mini dress, while Cosima chose a pink knit mini skirt paired with a matching cropped cardigan. Completing their looks, all three donned Chanel’s iconic cap-toe shoes, reinforcing the signature elegance of the brand.
Romy Shares Couture Fashion Moments on Social Media Platforms
Romy, a budding musician and social media presence, captured highlights from the experience through Instagram and TikTok. She shared behind-the-scenes clips of her glam squad preparing her hair and makeup, along with detailed views of her beaded accessories. Additionally, she posted videos from the show, including footage of Sofia Coppola in the venue set to Beyoncé’s Pure/Honey, showcasing the mix of family moments and the event’s creative atmosphere.
Teenage Daughters Increasingly Engaged in Fashion Events
Though this was Romy and Cosima’s first couture show, attending fashion events has increasingly become part of their lives. Now that Romy is 18 and Cosima 15, their mother has involved them in several notable occasions. In February, Cosima attended the Anna Sui and Marc Jacobs shows in New York, while Romy made a public appearance with her grandfather, Francis Ford Coppola, at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024. Romy’s first fashion show experience dates back to 2020, when she accompanied Sofia to the Marc Jacobs fall presentation.
Elite Guest Lists Reflect the Event’s High Status and Rich Connections
Growing up with Sofia Coppola and Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars as parents, Romy and Cosima are familiar with celebrity circles, but these recent days brought them into an even loftier echelon. The Bal d’Été featured stars like Penélope Cruz, Keira Knightley, and Paloma Picasso, while Chanel’s couture show included icons such as Marion Cotillard, Naomi Campbell, and Charlotte Casiraghi. For 18-year-old Romy, who is focused on her burgeoning music career, seeing fellow musicians Gracie Abrams, Lorde, and Laufey in Chanel added a special resonance to the event.
The weekend underscored how fashion and family intertwine in Sofia Coppola’s life, bringing her daughters into the forefront of couture glamour while fostering meaningful experiences. With this introduction to such prestigious events, Romy and Cosima’s presence in the world of fashion seems set to grow, continuing the legacy of their celebrated family name.
