The empress has been commemorated in space; the asteroid 45 Eugenia was named after her, and its moon Petit-Prince after the prince imperial.

She had an extensive and unique jewelry collection, most of which later was owned by the Brazilian socialite Aimée de Heeren.
De Heeren collected jewelry and was fond of the empress as both were considered to be the "Queens of Biarritz"; both spent summers on the Côte Basque.
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.

She was honoured by John Gould who gave the white-headed fruit dove the scientific name Ptilinopus eugeniae.
