Explanation
"The lady sitting beside me has an elegant style" is correct. The use of 'at' would indicate that the lady is sitting on the speaker, the use of 'around' would mean that the lady could be anywhere near the speaker and is not a clear way of describing where exactly she is sitting.

About Prepositions
Prepositions link a noun or pronoun to the rest of the sentence, showing place, time, direction or relation. The difficulty is idiomatic rather than logical: English fixes particular prepositions to particular verbs and adjectives, so “good at,” “married to” and “differ from” have to be learned as units rather than reasoned out.
