Abstract: We extend the celebrated theorem of Kellogg for conformal diffeomorphisms to the minimizers of Dirichlet energy. Namely we prove that a diffeomorphic minimiser of Dirichlet energy of Sobolev mappings between doubly connected Riemanian surfaces (X,sigma) and (Y,ho) having mathscrCn,alpha boundary, 0<alpha<1, is mathscrCn,alpha up to the boundary, provided the metric ho is smooth enough. Here n is a positive integer. It is crucial that, every diffeomorphic minimizer of Dirichlet energy is a harmonic mapping with a very special Hopf differential and this fact is used in the proof. This improves and extends a recent result by the author and Lamel in cite{kalam}, where the authors proved a similar result for double-connected domains in the complex plane but for alpha which is lealpha and hoequiv1. This is a complementary result of an existence result proved by T. Iwaniec et al. in cite{iwa} and the author in cite{kal0}
