Queen Letizia proved she looks polished at any occasion when she flashed a smile for the cameras just moments after stepping off a long-haul flight.

The Spanish royal looked fresh-faced as she and husband King Felipe touched down in Tokyo today at the start of a four-day state visit to Japan.

The couple looked in excellent spirits as they stepped off the plane before walking down a red carpet to a waiting car.

Arriving in Tokyo, she wore a two-tone nude and black jacket over a knee-length leather skirt.
