Cape Town – ICYMI: The internet is about to break in the most epic way ever...and it has nothing to do with Kim Kardashian.
The world is about to split in two. All because of a dress.
It started very innocently when a Tumblr user uploaded a photo of a dress and asked for help… Is the dress blue and black or white and gold?
Much to everyone's surprise what seemed a simple question has now become the biggest uproar on the internet!
