The “Cruel Intentions” actress rocked a black one-shoulder split-thigh dress which she paired with a pair of pointed-toe pumps.

She slicked her blonde hair to the side and accessorized with gold jewelry.

Ahead of the film’s screening — which shares an “unprecedented look” at Von Furstenberg’s life — Blair was asked to name the women she looks up to.

“Gosh, I look up to Paulina Porizkova very much. She’s a dear friend and beautiful. Diane Von Furstenberg, really, because of staying power, always staying classic. There’s so many,” she said in a video shared on Tribeca’s Instagram Story.

“There’s ones from my childhood I can’t help but always be thrilled [about], like Lauren Hutton and Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen.”

“The ones that were the fun mysteries will always be adored. I love anyone with staying power no matter what their style,” she added.

The “Hellboy” actress also serves as a juror for the 2024 Nora Ephron Award at the festival.

While Blair doesn’t attend every red-carpet event with Scout, she admitted that the pooch has allowed her to get “a lot of independence” since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in August 2018.

“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,” she told People at the time. “It’s given me a lot of independence.”

The actress revealed her MS diagnosis to the world in late 2018 on social media.

MS affects the central nervous system by disrupting the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body.

“I am disabled,” she wrote at the time alongside a selfie. “I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps. But we are doing it . And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best.”

Since then, she has been open and vocal about her struggles with the disease.
