Blue and black, or white and gold? It’s hard to believe that the image of the dress that broke the internet just turned 10 years old! A decade ago, a bride posted a photo of a dress that rapidly went viral…and caused arguments worldwide. Cecilia Bleasdale purchased the dress to wear at her daughter’s wedding, and her daughter Grace, stunned that her mom chose a light color, asked Tumblr for opinions. The dress quickly caught the attention of Buzzfeed, the Washington Post, and other outlets…as people were divided on its color. Even celebrities weighed in: Kim Kardashian and Katy Perry thought it was white and gold, while Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, and Demi Lovato saw blue and black. A 2017 study found that whether we get up early or late…and whether we’re used to seeing objects in dim or bright lighting…could impact how we see the dress. (dailymail.co.uk)
