Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars Get an Early Start on Their Weekend Wedding Festivities

Lindsay Miller — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:50:24 PDT

Sofia Coppola, her fiancé, Thomas Mars, and their oldest daughter, 5-year-old Romy Mars, celebrated the Festa di San Bernardino in Matera, Italy, last night. Sofia was presented with a special honor by the Lucania region's officials and had her brother Roman Coppola by her side as they enjoyed an evening out. The family is counting down the days to Sofia and Thomas's wedding, which is taking place in the small town of Beranda this Saturday. Sofia first met Thomas when they worked together on The Virgin Suicides soundtrack in the late '90s, and the pair have been collaborators in both work and love for six years. They welcomed their second daughter, Cosima, last May, and Thomas's band Phoenix has provided music for several of Sofia's films, from Lost in Translation to Somewhere. The pair's Saturday nuptials in the gardens of Palazzo Margherita are expected to be an intimate affair for close friends and family, with lots of free-flowing wine from her and her father Francis Ford Coppola's vineyards!

Sofia Coppola Hits the Beach in a Bathing Suit With Her Babies Just Days Before Her Wedding

Sofia Coppola and her family, daughters Cosima and Romy as well as father Francis Ford Coppola, hit the beach in Italy last week ahead of this Saturday's exciting wedding. Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars are set to get married on Aug. 27 in the quiet Italian town of Bernalda, where her great-grandparents used to live. Sofia and Thomas, who is the front man for the band Phoenix, have been together for six years and have been busy raising Romy, born in 2006, and Cosima, born in 2010. Sofia is rumored to have chosen Azzedine Alaïa as the designer for her big day. If she's going for a strapless gown, she is doing a good job avoiding tan lines in her one-piece swimsuit. Whatever Sofia wears down the aisle, she looks like a perfectly relaxed bride-to-be surrounded by her closest family before celebrating her and Thomas's love this weekend.

Sofia Coppola Hangs With Her Dad and Daughter Ahead of Her Italian Wedding on the 27th

Sofia Coppola was in the Italian town of Bernalda, the town her great-grandparents used to live in, yesterday with her youngest daughter, Cosima, and dad, Francis. Cosima, who was born in May 2010, was out with her mom while her 5-year-old big sister, Romy, stayed home. The Coppola gang is in Europe prepping for Sofia to marry Thomas Mars. Sofia's been dating the Phoenix frontman for six years, raising their two daughters while balancing busy music and film careers. Thomas and Sofia are planning to have the event be a small one for family. The civil aspect of the proceedings will take place in the garden of Palazzo Margherita, a 19th-century villa on the main drag of Corso Umberto that Francis has been restoring. After the nuptials, the Palazzo will open as a five-star eco- resort with eight guest rooms. It will also have a wine bar that stocks vintages from Francis's estate in Napa!

Katie Henry — Mon, 23 May 2011 11:12:15 PDT

Hollywood's up-and-coming talent came together Friday night at LA's Club Nokia for the 13th annual Young Hollywood Awards. The new face of Miu Miu, Hailee Steinfeld, stepped out in a black and white ensemble from the brand to accept the breakthrough of the year honor from her True Grit costar Jeff Bridges. More statues went out to Style Icon Camilla Belle, in a Tom Ford suit, and Star of Tomorrow Armie Hammer, who caught up with his hilarious Parks and Recreation star pal Aziz Ansari. Camilla stuck close by her supposed real-life leading man, Topher Grace. Grey's Anatomy's Jesse Williams was crowned TV actor of the year, while Elle Fanning had her Somewhere director Sofia Coppola's dad, Francis, on hand to witness her film actress of the year honor. Garrett Hedlund had Midnight in Paris star Michael Sheen on hand to pass on the film actor of the year distinction, and the awardees kept the good times rolling afterward with a party. The whole show airs Thursday night on the ION channel.

Say What? If a Wife Has Ambitions, Who Will Cook and Clean?

TresSugar — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 06:00:00 PDT

"More difficult is my wife, because she has many ambitions and talents, but who's going to be my wife? Who's going to fix the house up and make it nice? . . . That's been a very big, frustrating aspect. I've been married 46 years, and it's never been resolved."

- Director Francis Ford Coppola shares his marital frustrations in a new interview with the Village Voice. While this sounds like a backward outlook on gender roles, I can't help but hope that Coppola was somehow giving his talented wife a teasing compliment.

Happy Hour: Encyclopedia

partysugar — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:15:34 PDT

I'm a huge fan of Francis Ford Coppola's Sofia Sparkling wine, so when I heard the famed director had released a new label, Encyclopedia ($15.00), I was eager to check it out. With its beaker-shaped bottle, Encyclopedia appeals to the younger wine drinker. According to Coppola the wine is "about learning and exploring. It's for people who want to know more about wine and how it is connected to geography, to history, to myth."

There are six varieties: Pinot Grigio, Tempranillo, Malbec, Riesling, Torrontés, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each is made with grapes from the variety's native region. For example, the Pinot Grigio is made with grapes from delle Venezia, Italy and the Tempranillo comes from Yecla, Spain. The wines represent and respect the tradition and culture of each wine-making region.

I tried the Riesling and the Cab and found both delightful, well-balanced, and highly drinkable. I hope to try the rest soon. If you are new to wine, or enjoy sipping new wines, I highly recommend seeking out Encyclopedia. When the wine is gone, the bottle makes a pretty vase!

Fab Ad: Louis Vuitton Core Values Campaign Featuring Francis and Sofia Coppola

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:00:11 PDT

The newest addition to Louis Vuitton's core values campaign features prestigious filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter Sofia sitting in the countryside of Buenos Aires. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the ad, which is the fifth in its series of exceptional people, depicts Francis sitting with script in hand, taking on an engaging conversation with his beautiful daughter. Amongst all the picturesque scenery, a Louis Vuitton bag is nonchalantly thrown into the mix.

All of this natural scenery is nice but has me wondering: What does it all mean? Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton Senior VP of Communication and Marketing, explains it best: "This beautiful visual is a significant new addition to the core values campaign. Not only does it capture the unique quality of a father-daughter relationship, in which both are enriched by a shared experience, but it also evokes the heritage of Louis Vuitton with its suggestion of know-how being passed from one generation to the next." As well, the company is making a donation to The Climate Project on behalf of the famous father and daughter duo. Does this ad pull at your heartstrings?
