Life and career
editMars is the older of two daughters born to Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars. She was named after her uncle Roman Coppola.[2] She was raised out of the public eye and made her first modeling appearance for Marc Jacobs in 2020.[2] In 2023, when she was 16, she went viral for a soon-deleted TikTok video in which she tries to make pasta and says she was grounded for trying to use her father's credit card to take a helicopter to dinner with an out-of-state friend.[3]
Mars began writing music when she was 12.[4] She released her first pop singles, "Stuck Up" and "From a Distance", on May 22, 2024.[5][6]
Mars appeared in a small role as a reporter in her grandfather Francis Ford Coppola's film Megalopolis, which premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.[1] She played the student Kayla in the FX comedy series English Teacher later that year.[7]
