Selma Blair First Noticed Her MS Symptoms During a Christian Siriano Show

From Harper's BAZAAR

Back in October 2018, actress Selma Blair revealed that she'd been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Since then, the Cruel Intentions star has been candid about living with the condition, and in a new Instagram post, Blair has opened up about experiencing MS symptoms while walking the runway for Christian Siriano during New York Fashion Week in February 2018.

Sharing photos from Fashion Week, Blair revealed, "3 years ago. My dearest two pals came to watch the Siriano show. I walked that day. In the show. Noticing for first time, my leg was numb." She continued, "When I first stepped out. I couldn’t feel the ground or how to lift my left leg. My brain was trying to compute. As I walked the runway, stunned."

Despite noticing the disconcerting symptoms, which would eventually lead to a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, Blair revealed, "It hardly dampened my day though. Art and Carolyn shot these favorite frames of mine. In that incredible space in nyc. After the show was done. And what a show it was. The greats."

Blair and Siriano remain firm friends, and the pair has even discussed the possibility of working on an accessible fashion line for disabled people. In February 2019, the Another Life actress told Vanity Fair, "I would like to partner with someone like Christian Siriano on a line for everyone—not just people who necessarily need adaptive clothing, but for those who want comfort, too. It can still be chic. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice style. Like, let’s get elastic waistbands to look a little bit better."
