Selma Blair Looked Fierce At The Oscars In Her First Public Appearance Since Being Diagnosed With MS

Selma Blair made her first public appearance since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at last night’s Vanity Fair Oscars after party.

The actress walked the red carpet in a stunning multi-coloured Ralph & Russo gown with a matching cape. She also used a customised cane to steady her balance while walking the carpet.

The Cruel Intentions star revealed via an Instagram post back in October that she suffers from the chronic disease MS, which affects the nervous system.

“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,” Selma wrote in her post. “But we are doing it. And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best,” she added.

The actress revealed she has probably been suffering from the incurable disease for at least 15 years, but struggled to get her symptoms taken seriously. It was only when she fell down in front of a doctor she was seeing for a supposed pinched nerve that proper investigations into her health began.

Selma has used her Instagram platform to discuss her condition and update her followers on her health, constantly maintaining that she still loves her life.
