I'm still convinced this is the biggest troll. It's clearly white and gold

I've always really liked this explanation image you can find on Wikipedia page for it. Essentially, people who see white and gold are mistaking the lighting to be cold and blue-tinted, rather than warm and yellow-tinted.

The portions inside the boxes are the exact same colors, you can easily check this with a color picker.

But the dress in the photo looks like it's in the shadow so it's a fair assumption that the lighting would be blue-tinted.

How does it look like it's in a shadow? The rest of the photo is over exposed like in bright lights so it's safe to assume that the dress is over exposed too.
