Keir Johnston, whose mother-in-law attended his wedding in a blue-and-black dress that went viral for looking white and gold to millions of viewers, was arrested and charged Monday with the attempted murder of his wife, according to The Daily Mail and other media outlets. Johnston, 38, is accused of several instances of domestic violence against his wife, Grace, over a period of 11 years, culminating in the alleged murder attempt in his efforts to exert control over her, according to court records. The charges refer to incidents from April 2019 to March 2022.

I saw the black/blue initially, looked away, and have never been able to see it again.

I'm the opposite. I saw it as white and gold, saw a picture of it in better lighting, and now can only see it as blue and black
