Sofia Vergara channeled a real-life drug lord in the poster for Netflix’s Griselda, which shows the actress with what appears to be cocaine on her pinky nail.
The Emmy-nominated star, 51, adored her Instagram on Friday to share new art for the limited series, in which she plays infamous Colombian drug cartel leader Griselda Blanco.
The poster shows an extreme close-up of Sofia’s face with her hands clasped in front of it and her fingernail, painted a deep red, with a white powdery substance on it.
In a cheeky reference to Blanco – who was known as the Cocaine Godmother during her drug reign in Miami in the 1970s – the poster’s tagline read: “A woman of substance.”
Sofia previously said in a statement: “Griselda Blanco was a larger-than-life character whose ruthless yet ingenious tactics allowed her to rule a billion-dollar empire, years before many of the most infamous male kingpins we know so much about.” .

The Modern Family star completely transformed into a 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 been thinking about me a lot, haven’t you?” I heard you liked my product. Together we can make a lot of money.’
After a montage of cocaine and money, you hear someone ask, “Who’s 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 smart and ambitious Blanco, who they describe as a “devoted mother” who “created one of the most profitable cartels in history.”
The synopsis also noted that “Blanco’s deadly mix of unsuspected cruelty and charm helped her skillfully 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 is Sofia’s first scripted live-action project since announcing her divorce from Joe Manganiello in July 2023 after seven years of marriage.
