It’s always exciting when someone captures something strange on camera. Now, as you can see below, it almost looks as though someone captured a glitch in the Matrix with what’s being called a “cursed wedding dress”.
As you can see below, writer and comedian Tessa Coates shared a photo on Instagram featuring said cursed wedding dress. She wore the outfit during a pre-wedding shopping trip. Though, as noted on her social media post, there’s something quite wrong with the image.
Viewers need to look closely as she explains in the caption:
“I went wedding dress shopping and the fabric of reality crumbled. This is a real photo, not photoshopped, not a pano, not a Live Photo. If you can’t see the problem, please keep looking and then you won’t be able to unsee it.”
After urging viewers to check out her highlights for the full story, she says to “Please enjoy this glitch in the matrix/photo” that nearly made her “vomit in the street.”

Her story continues to explain the strange image. If you haven’t noticed it, there is a different pose in each mirror, both of which are different than the way Coates is standing. It’s definitely a jarring sight, especially if you weren’t expecting it.
She attempted a variety of resources to try and figure out why it was happening. Ultimately, she was led to the Apple store, and it was finally explained. It appears that phone cameras operate more like computers than traditional cameras, which means they can sometimes pick up movements even when you’re not using Live Photo or burst features.
The Apple employee surmises that Coates raised her hands to her waist, just as the photo was being taken, which led to the “one in a million” photo to turn out the way it did.
“It’s made like an AI decision and it stitched those two photos together,” Tessa said on Instagram. “And one very clever person on Twitter found the exact line on my back – it’s a tiny, tiny bit that’s not completely in line, and that’s where the photos are stitched together.”
It’s certainly interesting to see how technology can produce an image like this. Especially with it being an accident.
