Selma Blair hit the red carpet in fighting shape.
The "Legally Blonde" actress, 49, showed up to the premiere of "Introducing, Selma Blair" rocking a side-swept blonde 'do and sparkling silver dress.
The documentary follows her journey living with Multiple Sclerosis, also known as MS, a potentially disabling disease of the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, which can cause permanent damage or deterioration of the nerves.
The 49-year-old's date for the event was her 10-year-old son, Arthur Saint Bleick.
"He's super, super handsome!" the actress told Entertainment Tonight, adding that he got a haircut right before the event.
When asked if he's "so proud" of his mom and her bravery, Arthur smiled and nodded, "Yes," PEOPLE reports.
As seen in the film, her son has been a constant support throughout the health battle. While speaking with Robin Roberts recently on Good Morning America, Blair showed a positive outlook on the tough situation.
“My brain is neurologically free of forming lesions,” said Blair, “but I do have volume loss in some speech and movement, some pre-frontal damage, and things that I take medicine for throughout the day.”
The "Cruel Intentions" star originally revealed her MS diagnosis on Instagram in 2018.
The documentary primarily focuses on her 2019 stem cell transplant, an experimental therapy that includes many intensive rounds of chemotherapy that aim to reboot the immune system.
It is not a cure and still has yet to be approved by the FDA. But it has set Blair’s MS into remission for now.

“I got to a critical point with my nervous system,” she told Roberts. “I couldn’t stay awake… I was mortally afraid of Chemo my whole life. I’m someone that’s always gone holistic, when I can. I met with [the doctor], and he said, ‘Before you go home to California, I’m going to give you some chemo, see how you do.’ One dose of chemo, the next day I was on the plane talking clearly -- that quick the inflammation started to go down.”
Blair’s mother was also a huge support up until her death in 2020, during the filming of the documentary.

When asked what she thinks her mother would think of the finished film, Blair haltingly responded, “I think she would be furious that I didn’t put on the dog, you know, that I’m not made up. But I think she would be proud… I wish she could see that I’m okay.”
“At this very moment, I am great,” she told Roberts. “And it’s very important to say at this very moment…. I have gains and losses, and I do have things that can sometimes be embarrassing. But this is part of it that I do want to show, because that’s the part that’s healing and impefect, and acceptance.”
