La trama se desarrolla en , una prestigiosa empresa de diseño de modas, donde la superficialidad y el "qué dirán" son moneda corriente. Allí, Betty, a pesar de su impresionante currículum, solo logra emplearse como la secretaria "fea" del nuevo y apuesto presidente, Armando Mendoza , interpretado por Jorge Enrique Abello. Lo que sigue es una intrincada y emotiva danza de enredos, burlas, manipulación y, finalmente, un amor inesperado. La serie retrató con un humor único la lucha interna de Betty, su dignidad y su inteligencia, que siempre terminaba imponiéndose sobre cualquier barrera, convirtiéndose en una voz para millones de mujeres que se sentían invisibles.
