Princess Tessy of Luxembourg (née Tessy Antony) celebrates her 28th birthday today. We don’t see much of her (she, her husband Prince Louis and their two young sons live in London where Tessy and Louis are students) except for the most major Luxembourg royal events. Despite her limited time in the spotlight, Tessy is memorable to us millinery fans for her fantastic hats. For National Day in 2011, she wore this turquoise party on her head. To celebrate her birthday, I couldn’t resist taking another peek.

Royal Hats 
Wow. It is very “out there.” She looks good in it, but I do not care for it.
“tuquoise party on her head” Love that! It’s not my favorite hat in the world but Tessy makes it work
Say whatever you want about the hat but it is styled perfectly. It works because it is paired with a very streamlined dress and a slicked back hairstyle. I don’t think I like this hat on its own but the whole look here is STUNNING. I love it when young royals experiment with fashion and get it right.
I think we have just set a new standard for the term “Statement Hat” !!
I love the curled bows!
Happy birthday, Princess! I’m so fond of the level of style she has managed to reach. She started rather low, imo, and her stepmother’s lents, though very kind, were only by chance a success. But lately, her looks are stunning or surprising in the best way. She has gained in confidence, for the best. I like her very much.
Now THAT’S a HAT!!!
I don’t care for it myself but she looks good in it. I like how she matched her purse to her hat and wore it with a very simple dress.
It looks terrific. She is an attractive young woman in a slightly unconventional way and can wear unconventional hats to her advantage.
That looks a little scary to me. Like an Octopus about to grab her. That took courage! She must be a fun person!
You’re not kidding about the party on her head. It’s a train wreck that I can’t peel my eyes away from!
