    Because no one has posted the other photos:

    And this is a photo of the same dress taken under proper lighting:

      I have always only seen black and blue, even in the light version my brain doesn’t make it gold and white. It’s strange to me why people perceive this as gold.

      Edit this video was the only one to make me see it https://youtu.be/YB36n00NHBw

      All three of these look blue and black just with different levels of saturation?? I can understand how people can maybe see the gold, but interpreting the blue as white is baffling to me. Bluer than the day sky.

      Not even the brighter version looks white and gold to me. It’s so obviously blue and black, y’all are insane.

        Right? To be white and gold the dress would need to be in shadow, but it’s clearly in light.

        I’m the opposite, the OG photo reads white and gold no matter what edits I see. Even after seeing the dress in proper light the OG is still white and gold.

        I understand doubting the white but seeing black in that gold was what I could never buy. To me it seemed like light blue-grey with matte gold.

        What on earth are you talking about.

        Only the ‘darker’ picture looks remotely blue and black

          It’s almost like color is arbitrary and dependent on the environment. I know it’s such a complex concept for millions of adults./s

        When i first opened the image, it was undeniably white/gold to me, and I could not trick myself into seeing black/blue. After looking at the HQ image above, now I can not see white/gold anymore.

        Edit: After writing this comment, it is back to white/gold.

      The second photo is supposed to be the same dress? Looks like an homage, aka knock-off attempt to me. What happened to the shoulders?

        I’ll double-check the source of the second photo, but it looks like the original picture is taken from the back and the second is taken from the front.

        Add: Yeah, it’s not the EXACT SAME dress worn to the wedding where the original picture came from, but it is the same design by the same maker.

        …Also, THIS is the source the second photo came from and today I learned that the dress actually did drive people insane! Holy fuck! 😭

          Some people said the dress was black and blue while others argued it was white and gold.   The court heard the couple had a “volatile” relationship and Johnston became enraged with his wife at their home during an argument.    He then tackled her to the ground and throttled her using both hands. […]   He threatend to “finish her off”, struggled with his wife again, brandished a knife, uttered a further threat that “somebody was going to die” and then attempted to self-harm, the court heard.   He pleaded guilty at the same court last month to assaulting his wife to her injury and endangering her life. […]   They went on to appear on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in the USA, where they were handed $10,000 and a luxury trip to Grenada.

          Damn. Sentenced to 4½ years.

      No way, really ? I really thought it was always white and gold. This cannot be the same dress, I do not trust my eyes anymore

      Left: blue and black.
      Middle: light blue and black.
      Right: dark blue and black.

      The dress is blue and black. It will never be white or gold. The lighting or saturation doesn’t matter.

      Even with my phone cranked all the way up it still looks blue to me. I’ve never been able to see the white and gold version people claim exists.
