WHAT. IS. HAPPENING! A Tumblr user named Swiked posted a picture of a dress on the Internet on Wednesday, Feb. 25, and asked what’s become a seriously important question — what color is this dress?!
After Swiked shared the dress online, writing, “Guys please help me – is this dress white and gold, or blue and black? Me and my friends can't agree…" Twitter and Facebook exploded with opinions and reactions. We honestly can’t give you an answer, because yes, some see the dress as blue and black and others see the dress as white and gold.
Taylor Swift, for her part, thinks it’s blue and black, while Julianne Moore is honestly stumped and asked her friends B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling — who can’t agree either — “What’s the matter with u guys, it’s white and gold.” Click here to meet the model who wore the dress for the first time.
See below to see what color Sarah Hyland, Emmy Rossum, and more celebs see.
I don't understand this odd dress debate and I feel like it's a trick somehow. I'm confused and scared. PS it's OBVIOUSLY BLUE AND BLACK

And if you're Miley Cyrus, it's not blue and black or white and gold, it's rainbow.
For the record, to make things even more confusing, Adobe argues this:
For those seeing #WhiteandGold in #TheDress (http://t.co/pNG9tXu5pU), @HopeTaylorPhoto ends the debate. pic.twitter.com/W7TwQJy13m

While another user named BradTheLadLong says you’re just depressed if you don’t see white and gold.
