Actress Christina Applegate let her cane do the talking as she walked the red carpet at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday evening.

The "Dead to Me" actress, 51, sported a black cane with the message "FU MS" emblazoned on it. The cane also featured several other designs including her daughter's name with a heart.

Applegate's 12-year-old daughter, Sadie Grace, accompanied her in a coordinated black outfit. 

Applegate revealed that she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021 while working on the last season of "Dead to Me."
