In the superficial world of high fashion, image is everything. Styles come and go, and the only constants are the super-thin beauties who wear them. How can an ordinary girl from Queens possibly fit in?

On her own terms. The Paley Center welcomes the cast and creative team of the Golden Globe–winning Ugly Betty to look at the stylized series with the unique heroine. Fashionably challenged, aspiring editor-to-be Betty Suarez got her foot in the door at Mode magazine and is now navigating the choppy waters of NYC's shark-infested fashion scene with her boss, Daniel Meade. Her exploits to balance her job, love life, and family pull viewers back each week while the series touches on larger issues like the image of women in fashion magazines and the Wall Street bailouts.

The Paley Center will premiere the episode "The Rabbit Test," followed by a conversation with members of the cast and creative team.

Ugly Betty returns to the ABC schedule the following night, April 30 (8:00 to 9:00 pm) and will air all-new episodes this spring, capped by a two-hour season finale on May 21.
