Many people saw a white dress with gold trim, while others saw a blue dress with black trim.
People got passionate about it! Families broke up. Friends fought. Neighbours turned against each other.
Okay, I'm just joking about that, but there was a lot of frustration.
It was eventually proven the dress was indeed blue and black, even though a majority saw it differently.
One reason given was that it was an optical illusion caused by weird lighting and an overexposed background. There's a chance you still see white and gold.
10 years ago today, a dress was posted on Tumblr.
