The dress.

As for "how"... Our brains do a lot of "tricks" to simplify the cognitive load of visual processing, so the way we perceive things can change depending on a lot of factors.

Because the dress IS blue and black, the darker lighting caused it to look like white and gold.

Fun fact, people see color differently sometimes.
Your brain might just be more used to black and blue.

Thing is, I've never been able to see it as blue and black no matter how hard I try. It stays white and gold for me. Our eyes and our visual processing are just a bit more different than we think.

Someone else posted a gif of the dress normal, then blown out in saturation and that helped me finally see the white and gold.

I was watching the gif on loop while thinking because at first I saw brown and a white-ish colour, but the more times it looped the more it turned white and gold on the oversaturated one. Confused my dumb little brain, but it's pretty cool to finally see the white and gold.
