So, in honor of our favorite ankle-strap-wearing, double-cuff-sporting, rock-star-marrying filmmaker's May 14 birthday, here's a look back at some of her chicest moments - from the early '90s to today.

>> Over the weekend, Sofia Coppola married her longtime boyfriend - Phoenix's Thomas Mars - at her family's villa in the remote southern Italian town of Bernalda. The town's mayor conducted the ceremony in front of about 80 guests, including Johnny Depp and director George Lucas; no word on whether Coppola's close friend Marc Jacobs attended.

The bride, who sat front row at Azzedine Alaia's couture show in July, wore a custom lilac chiffon dress by the designer, who also created a dress for her and Mars's daughter, Romy, to wear.

Sofia Coppola Sets a Wedding Date

fashionologie — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 11:11:48 PDT

>> It was confirmed earlier this Summer that Sofia Coppola planned to wed her longtime boyfriend, Phoenix's Thomas Mars, this month - but now, there's an exact date: Saturday, Aug. 27. The couple plan to hold an "intimate family wedding" in Bernalda - the hometown of Coppola's great-grandparents - with the civil ceremony celebrated in the garden of Palazzo Margherita, a 19th-century southern Italian villa her father Francis Ford Coppola has been renovating. “The ceremony will mark the end of renovations at the palace, which will soon be inaugurated as a resort, open to the public,” said Coppola pere’s great-nephew Gaetano Russo who, on the day of the wedding, plans to screen scenes from both Sofia and Francis Ford's movies on the facades of about 10 buildings in the village.

There still hasn't been any wedding dress designer confirmation - Marc Jacobs, Coppola's close friend and the most likely candidate for the job, seemed unsure while denying that he was doing the honors back in June, and after Coppola attended Azzedine Alaia's couture show last month, rumors circulated that Alaia may be the dress's designer.

Sofia Coppola On Doing Her Own Fashion Line

fashionologie — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 11:42:32 PDT

>> The bags Sofia Coppola did in collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2008 have attained a cult following, and the brand's Resort 2012 collection, of which she consulted on all aspects, is sure to, as well. But would Coppola ever consider doing a fashion line on her own? “No, no,” she replied. “I really respect and love working with Julie [de Libran, Vuitton's studio design director] and the whole team because they are so knowledgeable. I don’t have the patience and the years you would need to really study and learn about all of this. It’s like doing a film when I work with experts in each field, the cinematographer, the costume designer. They all have the knowledge about that and then I can just say what I have in mind.” [WWD]

Louis Vuitton Resort 2012

fashionologie — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 15:38:34 PDT

>> Sofia Coppola has collaborated with Louis Vuitton on a capsule collection of shoes and bags in the past, but for the brand's Resort 2012 collection, her sphere of influence was taken a bit further. Coppola chose the venue for the presentation - the Pool Room of the Four Seasons Hotel in New York - and served as "official muse" for the collection - which was based on her personal style - consulting on all areas of design.

“Oh my God, for me it’s really fun,” Coppola said. “I’m happy to give my opinion of, I wish I could have this or that.” The collection's Eiffel Tower print, for instance, is a nod to her current hometown of Paris. "I told [Vuitton design director Julie De Libran] I want a new wardrobe,” Coppola added - and thus, the collection is based on her favorite shapes, including a denim tunic dress.
