Usage Note
Regard means a look or gaze, not the English 'regard' meaning concern or esteem — a classic false friend. Croiser le regard de quelqu'un means to meet someone's eyes. À cet égard (in this regard/respect) is the proper French equivalent of the English 'regard' in formal writing, not regard alone.
Examples
"Elle m'a lancé un regard surpris."

She gave me a surprised look.

She (to) me has thrown a surprised look
