Sofia Vergara Debuts Dramatic Transformation

Sofia Vergara has debuted a stunning and dramatic transformation, following her recent split from Joe Manganiello.

For her new role as infamous Miami drug lord Griselda Blanco in 'Griselda' on Netflix, Sofia debuted a rather dark new makeover.

In the below first-look photos, she sports dark curly hair and dons period costumes from the '70s and '80s. 

Series creator Eric Newman said Sofia had been wanting to show a different side to herself.

"She had collected tons of images and stories and people who knew her. And she had really gone deep on someone who felt the pressure that she felt. I think that she really understood what it was like. She's got a son and she came to this country as a young mother with not much of a plan."

Director Andrés Baiz praised her desire to attempt her most dramatic role to date.

"This was a chance to reinvent herself and step out of her comfort zone, which was very brave of her. She knew she had to dive in completely into this role and feel insecure and afraid, but she knew that all she had was her work, that she had to push herself to the limit."

'Griselda' premieres in January 2024, and will be Sofia's first TV role since she and Joe Manganiello announced in July they are divorcing after seven years of marriage.
