Meet the European Princess Who’s Channeling Jackie Kennedy’s Iconic Style
While we’re forever inspired by European royals style stateside, one major European princess seems to quite inspired by one of our very own (albeit unofficial) royal: Jackie Kennedy. Time and again, the elegant Princess Tessy of Luxembourg channels the former First Lady’s iconic style with classic pillbox hats, car coats, and shift dresses for official engagements alongside husband Prince Louis. Let’s examine the evidence!
Exhibit A: The Pillbox Hat

We’re used to seeing royals in fascinators (call it the Kate Middleton effect), but Princess Tessy is more into the jaunty pillbox hat made famous by the former First Lady.

Exhibit B: The Matching Coat and Accessories
The Jackie Way:
The Princess Tessy Way:
To attend the wedding of an archduke in France, Tessy went matchy-matchy in a chocolate brown coat and hat (though she threw a wrench in the monochrome plan with burgundy-hued heels and clutch). The tailored coat dress is (so Jackie!) a royal style staple, but small details of hers make it feel vintage as opposed to something she just had made (like the trio of slightly oversize buttons and rounded collar).
Exhibit C: Classic Pearls

And to finish, exhibit C! Plus, a classy double strand of pearls could very well be the only accessory a Jackie Kennedy acolyte ever needs. The classic shift dress, matching hat, and filmy, decorative-only topper feel like ’50s and ’60s style at its best.
