The Dress That Broke The Internet.

Blue and black or white and gold? A picture of a dress posted on Tumblr rather than her musical talent has made Caitlin McNeill a global star - and all because no one could agree on its real colour. Commented on by everyone including celebrities and politicians the unexpected popularity of the photo has left Caitlin reeling. Within a half-hour, her post attracted some 500 likes and shares. The photo soon migrated to Buzzfeed and Facebook and Twitter, setting off a social media conflagration that few were able to resist. hile thousands of people have declared online what colour they think it is, it has since been confirmed that the dress was indeed black and blue - and the gold and white shades seen by some is an optical illusion.
