A woman was left mortified after she realized the outfit she was wearing to the beach actually created a very unfortunate optical illusion.
Picking out vacation outfits can be one of the most fun parts of getting ready for a trip, making sure that you've picked swimwear you feel great in, and a matching cover-up to complete the look, before packing some sun protection in your case, too.
Gina, who goes by the handle @gina_flowerpowerholistic on TikTok, thought she'd sorted the perfect ensemble for her trip - but it wasn't until she saw photos of her bikini and cover-up together that she realized why people had been giving her funny looks.
She took to the video sharing site to reveal: "2021 fail...wearing a nude dress and bikini and walking to the beach wondering why I got strange stares."
In the first image, Gina shared a snap of her from the shoulders upwards, showing her looking glam in a crocheted dress, paired with a straw sunhat and her blonde hair in pigtail plaits.
However, she then shared the full look, which had everyone in her vacation spot staring.
Yes, the reason people couldn't keep their eyes off her was thanks to the fact her nude netted dress, combined with a nude bikini underneath, unfortunately, blended in perfectly with her skin tone, making it look like she was walking around entirely naked.
One person missed what was wrong with the outfit, commenting: "I don't see it! What's the problem?"
Another questioned: "you didn't know?", to which Gina responded: "no idea until I got out of the uber and walking towards the beach."
Oh dear.
Despite the unfortunate optical illusion, Gina did look fab for her beach trip - however, next time a different colored bikini might be a better option to go with that dress!
Flesh-colored clothing can be a difficult look to pull off at the best of times, as Gina isn't the only person to have fallen victim to looking like they're in the nude.
A woman, who goes by @gutpunchmommy on TikTok, also previously shared the hilariously awkward moment she tried on a pair of light pink leggings her partner had bought her.
She told her followers in the overlay text: "Bless his heart. My husband’s Valentine’s gift. Light pink leggings can’t be worn in public."
The post was aptly set to the words: "Horrified looks from everyone in the room", from Taylor Swift's song 'Speak Now' which played over the video.
See the unfortunate leggings below:Now, while the leggings may have looked nice in the shop, once they were actually tried on the material matched the woman's skin tone so perfectly it made it look like she was entirely naked from the waist down.
She captioned the video: "His love language is giving gifts. I adore the thought and love behind the gift... I will however offend all the other parents at the next PTA meeting if I showed up in these."
The video quickly racked up millions of views as people took to the comments to confirm that, unfortunately, she definitely couldn't wear those trousers outside.
They wrote: "The way I gasped when the video came up", and: "A coworker wears them and I die every time."
One questioned whether they'd even be acceptable as loungewear, commenting: "BARELY can be worn in private," while another added: "These should be illegal."
Others were completely convinced by the illusion initially, adding: "I was shocked this wasn’t blocked until I read the caption," and: "I took me a hot minute to find where they ended."
