Synopsis:
For every girl out there who has felt moments of self-consciousness, this is the show for you! When a publishing giant hands over his business to his womanizing son, he searches for and hires the one woman in New York his son would never sleep with to be his assistant. Betty is a sweet and intelligent woman, but she stands out like a tacky suit in the world of high fashion. Will she ever be able to fit into this new world? I can promise you this -- Betty will always be the character viewers will root for every step of the way.
