Selma Blair seems to know how to have fun on a red carpet. That was on full display at the Daily Front Row’s Ninth Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards when she walked the carpet in a playful metallic ruffle dress and hugged designer Betsey Johnson, who received the lifetime achievement award, and the two busted out into splits onto the red carpet.

“Betsey was my icon as a child. Of course, we love Chanel or Cacharel, but Betsey for young people was our couture that it could be attainable. And we could go to the shop, and it was all meant for people like us or people that were a little out of the box,” the actress said on stage.
“But also, Betsey was always a good time. I remember doing cartwheels down the runway, and she was my spirit animal. I was always doing cartwheels, too, and I was synonymous with Betsey Johnson growing up. Tell my friends, and they knew my mom would take me if I got good grades to New York to go shopping at Betsey Johnson.”

On the red carpet, she told People that she’s “truly in remission” from multiple sclerosis, which she was diagnosed with in 2018, and is doing “really well.”
“I am doing amazingly well. I’ve been feeling great for about a year,” the actress told the magazine. “But I am finally well enough to really, genuinely … I always try and feel my best, but now that I actually have stamina and energy and getting out and going out isn’t so scary.”
