Welcome to the Great Dress Debate of 2015! Not since J.Lo‘s infamous green Versace dress from the 2000 Grammys has there been this much chatter over one trifling little garment. (We think that dress was green, at least — who knows anymore?)
PHOTOS: Controversial celeb dresses
Friends, lovers, and families were torn apart on Thursday, Feb. 26, when Tumblr user Swiked shared a photo of a blue ribbed dress adorned with black lace. Not everyone saw it that way, though — according to a BuzzFeed poll, more than two-thirds of those who looked at the picture thought the dress was white and gold. (They’ve since been proved wrong.)

The debate over “The Dress” raged on for hours, dominating both Twitter and Facebook. Celebs joined in on the discussion, too, choosing sides in the battle between Team Blue and Black and Team White and Gold. Us Weekly gathered up their reactions to show where, exactly, your favorite stars stand.

The dress is black and blue, by the way. I suspect anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Answer: The dress is “White & Gold” and shaded by shadow, giving the white a light blue appearance.
