Sofia Vergara channeled a real-life drug lord in the poster for Netflix’ Griselda, as the actress is featured with what appears to be cocaine on her pinky nail.
The Emmy-nominated star, 51, took to her Instagram on Friday to share the new art for the limited series, where she plays notorious Colombian drug cartel leader Griselda Blanco.
The poster shows an extreme close-up of Sofia’s face with her hands folded in front of it and her fingernail, painted deep red, with a white powdery substance on it.
In a cheeky reference to Blanco – who was known as the Cocaine Godmother during her Miami drug reign in the 70s – the poster’s tagline read: ‘A woman of substance.’
Sofia has previously said in a statement, ‘Griselda Blanco was a larger-than-life character whose ruthless but ingenious tactics allowed her to rule a billion dollar empire years before many of the most notorious male kingpins we know so much about’.

The Modern Family star completely transformed into Colombian queenpin, as seen in the recent teaser for the series, which debuts on January 25.
In the 36-second clip, Sofia’s Griselda can be heard saying, ‘You’ve thought a lot about me, haven’t you? I’ve heard that you liked my product. We can make a lot of money together.’
Following a montage of cocaine and money, someone can be heard asking: ‘Who is the one in charge?’
Sofia in full Griselda costume and makeup suddenly appears and stares directly into the camera.
According to Netflix, the bilingual crime series is inspired by the life of the savvy and ambitious of Blanco, who they describe as a ‘devoted mother’ that ‘created one of the most profitable cartels in history.’
The synopsis also noted ‘Blanco’s lethal blend of unsuspected savagery and charm helped her expertly navigate between business and family.’
The rest of the star-studded cast includes Alberto Guerra as Dario, Vanessa Ferlito as Isabel, Alberto Ammann as Alberto Bravo, and Christian Tappan as Arturo.
Griselda comes from the creators and executive producers of Narcos and Narcos: Mexico.
This marks Sofia’s first scripted live-action project since announcing her divorce from Joe Manganiello, in July 2023, after seven years of marriage.
