25 Looks That Prove Selma Blair's Style Is Just as Good as It Was in 1999

Selma Blair has inspired us with her vulnerability and strength in light of her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, but as she works on the upcoming Netflix Sci-Fi drama, Another Life, we're reminded that Selma has also been serving us some of the best fashion on the red carpet for more than 20 years.

She struck a very '90s vibe at the Cruel Intentions premiere, went nautical-inspired at the Legally Blonde premiere, leaned into her preferred "comfort zone" of cool cocktail dresses, and surprised us with her dreamy candy-colored Ralph & Russo gown at the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscars party — her style really is applaud-worthy.

Here's what we know from looking at photos of her since she first appeared in the spotlight: Selma's not afraid of experimenting with color and print, but her track record shows that she can't resist an all-black look with intrigue. She's an avid wearer of Christian Siriano, but just as apt to wear Aldo or Kate Moss for Topshop, too. And she has been consistent in her style prowess for decades.

This is how cocktail attire is done. For a dinner celebration for the AERIN Spring 2018 Collection, Selma paired a sparkly, metallic midi-length dress from the Fall 2012 Behnaz Sarafpour collection with dainty accessories. From the all-over pleating and the ruffled skirt to the deep-V bodice, it's safe to say we're obsessed with this dress.
