Selma Blair was in good spirits on Tuesday as she stepped out in New York City with a friend and her dog Scout.
The 51-year-old actress – who suffers from multiple sclerosis – was dressed in a gray trouser suit and a white button-up shirt tucked into her trousers.
She wore a pair of tight black leather boots and carried a black leather bag over her shoulder.
The mother-of-one wore her platinum blonde bob haircut down to her jaw, straight in the middle.
Blair looked bright and cheerful, with her dark eyebrows framing her lightly made-up face.

The Cruel Intentions actress walked next to a gray-haired friend who was dressed in a cream crew-neck sweater over a white shirt.
The person added beige pants and black slip-on sneakers with white soles.
Selma got her golden dog Scout in 2019 after her MS diagnosis a year earlier.
She spoke about Scout during an interview with Peopleexplaining that she brought him into her life for a sense of stability.
“I'm a single mother and I'm alone with my child a lot, and I wanted legitimate support,” she said.
The Legally Blonde star said Scout has been trained to provide her with physical assistance.
'He's with me all the time. If I get a major (muscle) cramp or have trouble moving and need to recalibrate, he can come between my legs, help me up and balance me. It has given me a lot of independence,” she explained.
And of her 12-year-old son Arthur, she said, “My son, when he goes to see his daddy, he loves knowing that Scout is by my side.”

The longtime entertainer spoke candidly about her journey with MS on a recent episode of Meet the Press.
She recalled the time a doctor suggested she get a boyfriend when she sought help for the pain she was experiencing, and admitted she burst into tears after hearing the advice.
“I just cried,” Blair recalled. “I had no way to process.”
'I knew the pain was real. I thought it was. But I started convincing myself, “You're overly sensitive. There's nothing wrong with you. Get it together, you lazy, lazy whatever,” she said.
