It was back in 2015 when a simple photo of the dress became one of the biggest Internet sensations of all time.
A woman has taken TikTok by storm after discovering the infamous optical illusion dress at a yard sale, reigniting the heated debate that captivated the internet in 2015. The dress, which sparked intense discussion, was a polarising topic as people struggled to agree on its colour, with two distinct camps emerging: those who saw it as black and blue, and those who swore it was gold and white. The dress, which became a cultural phenomenon, was a seemingly simple photograph of a garment that left many questioning their perception. The debate raged on social media, with people weighing in on the dress's true colour.
Nine years later, the woman's TikTok video has brought the debate back to life. According to the Independent, Amanda Rubinstein stumbled upon the infamous dress while browsing through a yard sale. Excited by her find, she shared her discovery on TikTok, saying: "I'm at a yard sale and they have a lot of great stuff, including the dress." She added: "I knew it was blue," referencing the heated debate that surrounded the dress's colour.
Ms Rubinstein learned from the seller that the dress had been tucked away in her closet since 2015, the same year the optical illusion dress took the internet by storm. While she couldn't confirm whether the dress she purchased was the exact one from the viral 2015 photo, she found that the dress is from the same collection as the original viral dress.
