Selma Blair Walks Red Carpet in Heels and Without Her Cane in Glam Fashion Event Appearance

The actress, who’s been in remission from multiple sclerosis, last attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party with a cane in March

Selma Blair made a statement at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards, making her first red carpet appearance without her cane since her remission from multiple sclerosis in 2021.

At the star-studded April 9 event in Beverly Hills, Calif., the Cruel Intentions star, 51, posed in a mini double-breasted blazer dress and high heels adorned with bauble details on the straps. She accessorized with a two-layered puka shell necklace, a statement ring and a gold clutch in one hand.

She wore her blonde bob in an edgy half-up hairstyle and a blush pink lipstick with her natural glam.

Blair recently attended Vanity Fair’s Oscars afterparty on March 10, wearing a coral pink Sebastian Gunawan corset ball gown with a center cutout revealing the bow-like bustier. While walking with her cane, which supports her mobility, the actress made sure to give the camera a 360-degree view of the voluminous design.

In an interview with British Vogue last summer, Blair said that she had an “emotional and physical attachment to the cane,” adding that it had become an “extension” of her.

Multiple sclerosis is a “potentially disabling disease” that impacts the brain and spinal cord, according to the Mayo Clinic, and happens when the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerves.

Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the disease, but the Mayo Clinic states “some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or ambulate at all. Other individuals may experience long periods of remission without any new symptoms.”

On Jan. 29, Blair posted a health update in a lengthy Instagram video, in which she shared that while she’s still in remission from multiple sclerosis, she’s in daily pain because she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

“I hurt all the time,” Blair said. “I say that only for you people that hurt also. Like, I get it. And for all of us, just aging, it hurts. You have to stretch,” which is “hard” for her to do. EDS is a group of inherited disorders that affects connective tissue, like skin and the joints, the Mayo Clinic explains. Those with EDS often have “overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin” — and this can lead to injuries.

Yet, Blair is taking life in stride. “This is nothing that’s like horrible, scary stuff or anything. It’s just like one of those extra things that turns into a chronic thing, and you have to watch, because people think stretching’s so good for you, and I’m technically not allowed to stretch, because I’m always stretching.”
