A cane is no hindrance to a fabulous red carpet look, and actress Selma Blair is here to make that clear.

The Cruel Intentions star made her first red carpet appearance since sharing her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in October 2018, when she attended the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars party.

The NHS describes multiple sclerosis as "a condition that can affect the brain and/or spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance."

When Blair first announced that she had been diagnosed with MS in 2018, she wrote an emotional Instagram caption saying that despite her disability, she would continue to do her best in the hope of inspiring others.

"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," Blair wrote. "I am in the thick of it but I hope to give some hope to others."
