    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.
