Princess Eugenie traveled to Nice, France, for the “Thirty Six for Coral” art exhibition on Thursday. The British royal family member attended the event and made remarks ahead of the exhibit supporting coral preservation and global sustainability.
For the special occasion, Princess Eugenie opted for a design wholly evocative of the summertime season. The royal wore a sleeveless midi dress courtesy of Rebecca Vallance, featuring a bouquet of blue orchids cascading across the fabric.

The Rebecca Vallance midi dress featured a playful blue orchid vine print design crafted from a premium linen blend. The dress’ silhouette included a collared halter neckline with a structured lapel, and a fitted bodice with cinched waist for added definition. Adorning the waist was a rope belt. Rebecca Vallance’s design also included a sleek, low-open back.

Princess Eugenie has long been an advocate for sustainability and global preservation. In April 2024, the British royal attended a fashion sustainability panel in London, wearing a design courtesy of Gabriela Hearst, a designer who’s made sustainability a cornerstone of her eponymous label’s mission.
Rebecca Vallance is a brand that strives for sustainability, sharing a similar vocation with Hearst. The Australian fashion label endeavors to meet ethical sourcing standards as part of its practices, per the brand’s sustainability statement.
Given her stance on sustainable efforts and conservation, Princess Eugenie’s style choices — which include wearing designs by Rebecca Vallance and Gabriela Hearst — reflect the British royal’s dedication to global preservation, making her fashion part of a broader movement.
