Romy Mars Is the Nepo Baby We Deserve
And “A-Lister” might just be the song of the summer.
Few stars-to-be have burst onto the scene with more aplomb than Romy Mars, a young artist whose claim to fame was neither acting nor writing nor music but a viral TikTok titled “make a vodka sauce pasta with me because I’m grounded.” For those suffering from short-term memory loss in the mess of all that’s happened in the past two years, in March 2023, Mars — the daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, lead singer of the band Phoenix — was grounded, not for normal teenage reasons like breaking curfew or, uh, playing too much Roblox, but for trying to, she said, “charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland” on her dad’s credit card so she could have dinner with a “camp friend.” Now 18 and too old for camp, Mars has three songs to her name as she navigates a career as an actor–slash–pop star–slash–icon in training (last year, she popped up in both FX’s English Teacher and a little-known indie directed by her grandfather called Megalopolis). Last year, she told Teen Vogue that she one day envisions an album full of little stories, but that she is willing to take as long as she needs for the work to be as good as it can get — a surprisingly mature sentiment for someone not yet old enough to buy a vape.
