Fina Estampa (Looks & Essence) is a Brazilian telenovela that first aired on TV Globo between August 22, 2011 and March 23, 2012 in 185 chapters.

Her daughter Maria Amália is hard-working like herself, but becomes involved with Rafael, a young man with dubious morals.

He falls in love with Patrícia, the daughter of René, a renowned chef and restaurant owner, and Teresa Cristina, a vain, arrogant, unscrupulous woman whose favorite pastime is tormenting her nutty housekeeper, Crô.

René is smitten with Griselda's simple but honorable approach to life, arousing jealousy in Teresa Cristina, who eventually becomes her biggest rival taking revenge to the next level with her manipulative ways.

Tensions arise after Griselda wins the lottery and people suddenly turn up, like her "dead" husband, Pereirinha, and her son's ex-wife.
