SEE Ugly Betty's chic new look

Ugly Betty, is that you?

America Ferrera's on-screen alter-ego gets a glam new makeover for the latest series of the hit TV show, ditching the braces, trademark glasses, frizzy fringe and garish ensembles for an altogether chicer look.

Spotted filming on location, the only sign of the old Betty is her favourite B necklace and a hint of her miss-match styling. The hair is sleek though, styled into a glossy side-parting, and her ensemble noticably pared-down.

Even that signature bushy brow has been plucked into elegant arches.

The transformation comes as Betty receives a promotion at Mode Magazine. Taking her place as Daniel's assistant is Soprano's actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who made her debut on set last week.
