Selma Blair Attends Tribeca Film Festival With Her Service Dog

Selma Blair brought her service dog, Scout, to the red carpet premiere of Diane Von Furstenberg: Woman In Charge on Wednesday night.

Blair has been living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) since 2018. She appeared in good spirits while posing with her English red fox Labrador at the event. The actress wore a black one-shoulder split-thigh dress and pointed-toe pumps.

Before the screening, Blair was asked to name the women she admires.

“Gosh, I look up to Paulina Porizkova very much. She’s a dear friend and beautiful. Diane Von Furstenberg, really, because of staying power, always staying classic. There’s so many,” she said in a video shared on Tribeca’s Instagram Story.

Though Blair does not bring Scout to all her red-carpet events, she said the dog has allowed her to get “a lot of independence” sing being diagnosed with MS.

“He’s with me all the time. If I fall into a big [muscle] spasm or have some trouble moving and need to recalibrate, he can get between my legs, help me get up and balance me,” she told People in 2021.

Blair has been vocal about her struggles with the disease since her diagnosis.

“I am disabled,” she wrote at the time alongside a selfie. “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. And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best.”
