From immigration and beauty standards to LGBTQ issues and class disparity. Get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Ugly Betty once more as it makes its much-anticipated debut on Netflix on August 1st, as per Netflix TUDUM. 

The show is a brilliant adaptation of the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la Fea. At its core is the character of Betty Suarez, whose journey unfolds as she lands a job in the high-profile world of fashion magazines.

The show’s exceptional storytelling and powerful themes have earned it numerous awards, including Emmys. It boasts an impressive roster of guest appearances, with iconic names like Shakira, Victoria Beckham, and Adele leaving their mark on the series.

In a powerful moment, Ferrera’s Gloria offers words of wisdom and empowerment, addressing the struggles and challenges that women often face in a world that can seem impossible to navigate.

“I’m just so tired of watching myself and every single other woman tie herself into knots so that people will like us,” the monologue reads. Ferrera has consistently shared her deep resonance with the speech. She has expressed how it struck a chord not only with her but also with audiences worldwide. The powerful words delivered by her character Gloria in Barbie have left an indelible impact on viewers. The movie is likely to bring discontinued dolls to life.
