Gen Z content creators on TikTok have found the perfect cinematic excuse for an untidy nightstand: “When a girl’s room is messy, it ’s Sofia Coppola,” states the voiceover in @its_that_redhead’s tour of her bedroom. The video— which documents a shambolic domestic interior with crumpled sheets and a dressing table strewn with trinkets akin to those of the doomed Lisbon sisters in the writer and director’s 1999 exploration of girlhood, The Virgin Suicides—has amassed over 600,000 views. Search “Sofia Coppola aesthetic” on TikTok and you’ll also find videos of bucolic picnic spreads laid out with icing-piped cakes evoking Ladurée’s French pastries in Marie Antoinette (2006) alongside montages of Coppola herself sporting chic navy knitwear and ballet flats.
