Selma Blair just took the White House by storm, and she was dressed in the perfect outfit to do so.
While making a rare public appearance in Washington D.C. on Monday, October 2, the 51-year-old actress channeled business chic fashion as she sported a sophisticated two-piece outfit adorned in jewels.
Blair was photographed as she walked arm-in-arm with President Joe Biden on their way to an event honoring the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Rehabilitation Act (Rehab Act).
The Legally Blonde alum—who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018—was wearing a white sweater and matching skirt, which were both detailed with patches of silver and emerald jewels.
Blair paired the look with simple, neutral-toned heels, and her hair was pulled back into a sleek bun. She was accompanied for the outing by her service dog, an English Labrador named Scout.

While taking the podium on the South Lawn of the White House, Blair declared herself "a proud disabled woman" as she addressed the crowd of attendees at the ceremony.
"Although I’d had symptoms since the age of 7, it took a lifetime of self-advocacy to finally lead me to a diagnosis at age 46, after living most of my life in pain and self-doubt," she stated, per the Associated Press.
"The push towards equity continues," the Cruel Intentions star said. “Our laws and policies must reflect that our disabled lives are not of lesser value."
Blair first opened up about her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in October 2018, sharing on her Instagram, "I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps. But we are doing it."
"I am in the thick of it but I hope to give some hope to others. And even to myself. You can't get help unless you ask," she further shared at the time. "But I am a forthcoming person and I want my life to be full somehow. I want to play with my son again. I want to walk down the street and ride my horse. I have MS and I am ok."
In the years following this admission, Blair has continued to be a source of hope and an advocate for awareness.
