Hot off the heels from her sister's appearance at the illustrious Frieze Fair in London, HRH Princess Eugenie of York has just made an appearance at another world famous art event.

Eugenie attended the press preview for Paris + Par Art Basel held at the Grand Palais Ephemere (the location is renowned in fashion circles for being the location of the Chanel Haute Couture shows every season.)

Princess Eugenie is associate director at Hauser & Wirth

Attending the Hauser & Wirth booth at the fair, the royal was in her element; she holds a  full-time job as associate director at the esteemed London art gallery. For the occasion Eugenie stuck to her trademark classic style wearing a tweed bouclé and black chiffon dress, which features pearl buttons and black peter pan collar. Gold hoop earrings and a delicate dainty gold necklace added a modern edge to the otherwise prim and proper ensemble. You can find similar dresses from the likes of Maje, Sandro and Self Portrait, who are all working with tweeds this season.
