Impressed by the elegance, style and design of the jewelry of the neo-classical era, in 1858, she had a boutique in the Royal Palace under the name Royale Collections.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}} She was honoured by [[John Gould]] who gave the [[white-headed fruit dove]] the scientific name ''Ptilinopus eugeniae''. ===In popular culture=== [[George W. M. Reynolds]]'s [[penny dreadful]] ''The Empress Eugenie's Boudoir'' tells of the goings-on in the French court during the days of the Second Empire and features the titular empress as one of its lead characters. Named for the empress, the [[Eugénie hat]] is a style of women's chapeau worn dramatically tilted and drooped over one eye; its brim is folded up sharply at both sides in the style of a riding topper, often with one long ostrich plume streaming behind it.<ref name="Fairchild">{{Cite book|title=The Fairchild Dictionary of Fashion|last1=Calasibetta|first1=Charlotte Mankey|last2=Tortora |first2=Phyllis|year=2010|publisher=[[Fairchild Publications|Fairchild Books]]|location=New York|isbn=978-1-56367-973-5|pages=249–250|url=http://fairchildpub.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/fashion-dictionary-sample1.pdf|access-date=18 September 2011}}</ref> The hat was popularized by film star [[Greta Garbo]] and enjoyed a vogue in the early 1930s, becoming "hysterically popular".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Shields|first=Jody|title=Hats: A Stylish History and Collector's Guide|year=1991|publisher=Clarkson Potter|location=New York|page=43|isbn=978-0-517-57439-3|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nkPrAAAAMAAJ}}</ref> More representative of the empress' actual apparel, however, was the late 19th-century fashion of the ''Eugénie [[paletot]]'', a women's greatcoat with bell sleeves and a single button enclosure at the neck.<ref>Calasibetta, p. 93.</ref>
