Because no one has posted the other photos:

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

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

    I’m with you. This viral moment never made sense to me cuz I can never see anything else even with my wildest imagination.

    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.

    What on earth are you talking about.

    Only the 'darker' picture looks remotely blue and black

    Just curious. If you look at the dress at the bottom, and let your peripherals see the dresses up top slowly, then look up to the dresses on top, do you see them in blue/black then? Happened for me, then even when I scrolled up to the other pictures they stayed blue/black for a while.

    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.

    Man behind viral #TheDress photo jailed for attacking wife

    Damn. Sentenced to 4½ years.

    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.

    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
