Things are looking up for Selma Blair.

"I've been in remission for a while. I just had an MRI last week. No news is good news," the mom-of-one, 51, said. "But I did a transplant, and it was amazing to have the bone marrow transplant."
Blair looked as good as ever as she attended a screening for Diane Von Furstenberg: Woman in Charge, wearing a black one-shoulder dress and black heels as she walked the red carpet. The star didn't use a cane for the outing but was accompanied by her service dog, Scout.
The actress said she's doing 'really well.'
The Cruel Intentions star also commended actresses Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 43, and Christina Applegate, 52, for discussing their own struggles with MS on their "MeSsy" podcast.
"They're being really open about their experiences. I love that they're doing that," Blair said, noting she was once afraid to disclose her issues. "They're both good friends of mine. I love listening to them hang out and discover."

Blair was diagnosed with MS in 2018 and underwent a stem-cell transplant the following year. In 2021, she revealed the procedure was what led to remission.
The star was experiencing unexplained symptoms such as headaches a recurring fever before a medical professional finally gave her the diagnosis.
"I was surprised, but then I was like 'Oh of course,' and when the doctor said the first night, 'You've had this at least 25, 30 years, at least,' I was happy. I needed it," she recalled. "So to find that out and say, 'Oh, there's a story I can put together' — it was life-changing."
