British royalty and K-pop are arguably the most unexpected duo to come out of 2024.

On Monday night, Princess Eugenie was spotted enjoying a performance from G-Dragon at the Chanel Culture Fund Frieze Seoul 2024 at Leeum Museum of Art in Korea.

The Princess, who was likely invited to the event in her capacity as an art director for Hauser & Wirth, joined a star-studded guestlist at the exclusive soirée.

Her attendance was unveiled after she appeared in a clip shared to Instagram in which she was filming the Korean singer on her iPhone. Watch it below...

The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, 34, looked striking as ever for the occasion. She slipped into a 'Gradient Midi Dress' by London-based designer Peter Pilotto, which was identified by Instagram account Royal Fashion Police.

Eugenie's angelic gown featured a sleeveless silhouette, a high scooped neckline and an ethereal sheer skirt emblazoned with a shimmering gold feather print. It's not the first time the royal has worn the sherbet-hued gown, with the pretty number having been in her wardrobe since at least 2019.

As per usual, her makeup and hair were kept simple. She rocked loose curls and a warm-toned smokey eye as she looked back to smile at the table of guests in front of her.

It's not known if the royal travelled solo for her trip to Korea, or if she braved the long-haul flight with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, and their two young children, August and Ernest.

Despite the unlikely combination of royalty at a K-pop concert, it's also not the only time the monarchy has shown an interest in the music genre. 

In November last year, King Charles presented Honorary MBEs to K-Pop band Blackpink during the State Visit by the President and First Lady of the Republic of Korea.His Majesty invested Blackpink members Roseanne Park (Rosé), Jennie Kim, Jisoo Kim and Lalisa Manoban (Lisa) as Honorary Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBEs), in recognition of the band’s role as COP26 Advocates for the COP26 Summit in Glasgow 2021.
