Selma Blair has made her first public appearance since announcing her multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

The 46-year-old actress arrived at the Vanity Fair 2019 Oscars party on Sunday evening, walking the red carpet in a pale pastel gown with the help of a personalized cane.

“This is love. How did I get so lucky?†Blair with a photo of her custom, monogramed cane. She continued, “I burst into tears. These gifts to get me through…â€

Blair announced her diagnosis to her fans in October 2018, taking to social media to offer insight into her life with the illness.

“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,†. “And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best.â€

There is no known cure for MS and treatment typically involves slowing down the progression of the disease and managing its symptoms.
