Selma Blair Carries a Cane Amid MS Battle on 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Red Carpet
selma blair walked the red carpet at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on Sunday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, carrying a black cane as she continues her battle with multiple sclerosis. The 53-year-old actress wore a black, floor-length gown with a voluminous skirt and a striped lattice bodice over flesh-toned fabric, accessorized with a diamond choker, bracelets and large rings.

Selma Blair on the Red Carpet
Tonight’s appearance placed Selma Blair squarely in the spotlight at the party’s new LACMA location. She carried a black cane with a curved silver handle while wearing a sleeveless gown that emphasized her hips with a tilted top and left the arms exposed. The ensemble was finished with a thick diamond choker, bracelets on each wrist and what appeared to be two oversized diamond rings on her left ring finger.
Details of the Look and the Mobility Aid
The dress featured a voluminous skirt that reached the ground and a bodice with black stripes forming a lattice pattern over skin-toned fabric, creating the impression of a sheer top. The black cane complemented the gown and served as her mobility aid for the night; the same event one year earlier saw her arrive with her service dog Scout at the Wallis Annenberg Center in Beverly Hills. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art hosted the event this year, drawing notable industry figures and capping a night that followed a high-profile awards ceremony where One Battle After Another won Best Picture and where Michael B Jordan and Jessie Buckley took top acting honors.
What Comes Next
Tonight’s red carpet walk is the latest visible moment in selma blair’s ongoing effort to keep attention on disability visibility and life with MS. Expect further public appearances and fashion moments to be watched closely for how she balances visibility, advocacy and mobility needs; industry calendars and award-season afterparties will show whether this posture continues. I will follow and file updates as the next events are announced and as her public schedule becomes clear.
