Sofia Coppola hails from a fiercely private Hollywood dynasty, yet she allowed her two daughters to finally step into the spotlight on Tuesday while accompanying their mother to a fashion show.
The acclaimed director was joined by Romy, 18, and Cosima, 15, at the Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2025-26 show in Paris, with the trio looking incredibly stylish at the event.
Family fashion
Sofia wore a gray shirt underneath a patterned blue jacket and white trousers, adding a white handbag and black and beige heels to complete the look.
Romy was dazzling in a blue shift dress with a fringe hemline and a matching blue bag. She also sported black strappy heels and stacked necklaces, opting to leave her blonde locks down in cascading curls.
Her sister looked stunning in a pink mini dress with a matching cardigan and the same footwear as her mother. Cosima wore her brunette tresses in loose waves past her shoulders and added a gold necklace.

He tied the knot with Sofia in 2011, more than a decade after meeting on the set of her film The Virgin Suicides. She was previously married to filmmaker Spike Jonze from 1999 to 2003.
Parenting 101

Sofia responded to her daughter’s comments in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, sharing that their family prized privacy above all else. “We were raised to be so private and social media is so opposite of how I grew up,” she said. “So, it was the best way for her to be rebellious.”
“I got a lot of compliments on her filmmaking. And comedy. She’s funny. But people discussing my parenting publicly is not what I would’ve hoped for,” she added.
Film dynasty

Her brother Roman is a filmmaker too, while their late sibling Gian-Carlo sadly passed away in 1986 in a speedboating accident. His only child Gia is a director, with credits like Palo Alto and Mainstream to her name.
Sofia also boasts Nicolas Cage as her cousin, with the pair sharing the same grandfather.
Nepo babies

“I don’t want them ever to be jaded,” she said. “I never saw the point of taking little kids to movie premieres and stuff. I just want them to have a childhood.”
Despite it all, Sofia is still learning how to parent with her busy schedule.

“Luckily movies are really intense and then you get a break in between work,” she added. “I‘m not working 9-5, so that’s nice.”
