Selma Blair turned heads—and made Betsey Johnson laugh—on the red carpet at the Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Friday, April 25, 2025. The 52-year-old actress shared a cheeky moment with the iconic fashion designer, 82-year-old Betsey Johnson, by playfully lifting her dress to reveal a pair of cat face-printed panties.
The playful moment was caught on camera and shared on TikTok by Johnson, who couldn’t help but laugh at the unexpected display. Johnson captioned the video with the playful phrase, “I see London, I see France, I saw Selma’s… Amazing personality <3.”
Blair’s lighthearted moment, as she jokingly told Johnson, “You’ll laugh,” sparked a burst of laughter from Johnson, who gave Blair a thumbs-up in response. The fun exchange was just one of many amusing instances between the two longtime friends.
This isn’t the first time Blair has flaunted her fun sense of humor and her quirky cat-themed underwear. Back in 2018, Blair shared a similar moment on Instagram before a pre-Golden Globes party.
At the event, Johnson was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, where she took a moment to reflect on her colorful career. Despite her decades-long presence in the fashion world, Johnson joked about her plans for the future, saying, “There should be another award when I’m 92 called the ‘Many Lifetimes Award.’ You think, ‘Oh, that’s too old,’ but I feel good.”
Johnson also shared that her greatest achievement wasn’t in her designs but in her family. “My greatest achievement is my daughter Lulu, and then her achievement of having my two adorable grandkids,” she said. “Lulu worked with me when we were in New York, and she was the age and vibe of my favorite customer.”
While Blair and Johnson enjoyed their red carpet antics, Blair also opened up about motherhood. Her son, Arthur, 13, apparently has an interesting take on her career, saying he didn’t want to watch her movies because, in his words, “all your movies are in black and white.” Blair laughed at the mix-up, adding, “He thinks I’m from 1930. I’m not joking.”
The actress also provided an update on her health, revealing that she is now “relapse-free” from multiple sclerosis symptoms, having been diagnosed in 2018. Blair shared that she’s been feeling great for about a year, with renewed stamina and energy allowing her to enjoy social outings more freely.
