Selma Blair’s Service Dog Scout Is the Belle of the Ball, Snuggling with Stars at 2025 ‘Vanity Fair’ Oscar Party

Selma Blair’s service dog, Scout, may have attended the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party to assist the actress, but in reality, she was the star of the evening!

The yellow labrador posed on the red carpet outside the event with the Legally Blonde star, who wore a strapless, sequined, monochrome Monique Lhuillier gown, which she teamed with pointy pumps and slicked-back blond hair.

But it was inside the bash — held at the Wallis Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts after the Oscars ceremony on the evening of Sunday, Mar. 2 — that Scout really got into the party spirit.

The actress, 52, shared a series of pics to her Instagram Stories showing Scout — who wore an adorable black bow on the evening — cuddling up to stars including Chrissy Teigen, Michael Keaton, Laverne Cox and Justin Theroux.

Mom of four Teigen, 39, looked smitten with the pup in one snap while another showed Scout sharing a slobbery kiss with Goodrich actor Keaton, 73, and a third saw Theroux, 53, giving him a playful pet behind the ears.

House of Cards star Patricia Clarkson, 65, hugged Scout on the floor in another photo while another image showed him looking up to Orange is the New Black’s Cox, 52. 

Blair herself shared a reel of her evening out with Scout accompanied by Depeche Mode’s tune “But Not Tonight.” Her caption to the clip read, “Over 25 years of celebrating the Oscars at Vanity Fair. I loved tonight, especially. Scout is a solid date.”

Back in May 2022, the star  — who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018 — opened up to PEOPLE about living her life with Scout. 

Blair said her neurologist recommended she consider a service dog for the potential physical and emotional benefits, and she called the animal a “tremendous gift.”

“He’s with me all the time. If I fall into a big [muscle] spasm or have some trouble moving and need to recalibrate, he can get between my legs, help me get up, and balance me. It’s given me a lot of independence.”

The Cruel Intentions star added that Scout has “kept [her] moving and helped [her] build stamina.

Scout also received the all-important seal of approval from her son Arthur, 13, who she shares with her fashion designer ex Jason Bleick.

“My son, when he goes to his dad’s, he loves knowing Scout is by my side,” she said.
