The 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party was filled with glamorous gowns, dashing suits, and A-list celebrities, but one attendee stole the show: Selma Blair's service dog, Scout. The English red fox lab walked the striped carpet alongside Blair, who wore a stunning strapless, sequined, monochrome Monique Lhuillier gown. As they made their way through the party, Scout had the opportunity to meet and greet with fellow celebrities, including Patricia Clarkson, Chrissy Teigen, and Justin Theroux.

Scout's adorable moments with the celebrities were captured in a series of photos shared by Blair on her Instagram Stories. In one snap, Scout is seen cuddling up to Teigen, while another shows him sharing a slobbery kiss with Michael Keaton. Theroux is also seen giving Scout a playful pet behind the ears. The photos showcase the special bond between Scout and the celebrities, and highlight the importance of service dogs like Scout in assisting individuals with disabilities.

Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, has often spoken about the impact Scout has had on her life. In an interview with PEOPLE, Blair shared that her neurologist recommended she consider a service dog for the potential physical and emotional benefits. She called Scout a "tremendous gift" and shared that he has given her a lot of independence. Scout is trained to assist Blair with her mobility and balance, and has been a constant companion to her since they graduated as a service dog team in 2021.

The 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party was not Scout's first high-profile appearance. Blair has often shared snapshots of Scout on social media, including a recent family photo during the Christmas holiday in December 2024. Scout has also received the all-important seal of approval from Blair's son, Arthur, who loves knowing that Scout is by his mother's side. As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, it's heartwarming to see service dogs like Scout playing an important role in the lives of celebrities and individuals with disabilities.

Some of the notable celebrities who attended the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party include:

• Chrissy Teigen
• Justin Theroux
• Patricia Clarkson
• Michael Keaton
• Laverne Cox

The party was held at the Wallis Annenberg Centre for the Performing Arts after the Oscars ceremony on the evening of Sunday, Mar. 2. The event was a celebration of the Oscars and the film industry, and Scout's attendance was a reminder of the importance of inclusivity and accessibility in the entertainment industry.
