We've had a Corgi getting thrown out of a plane optical illusion.

-

We've had a woman that accidentally looks like she has stick-thin legs illusion.

-

Now meet the latest, most mind-boggling illusion of them all: "Man looks like he is wearing heels, woman has body of a man". It'll take a few seconds before you realize what's going on.

-

If you can't see what's really going on, you are not alone.

It's confusing, and really does look like the man's head has been placed on the woman's body.

However, if you stare at it for long enough, you can make out that the woman is hugging the man from behind and resting her chin on his shoulder. The angle of her head creates the illusion that her head is sticking out of his neck.

Meanwhile, he has his head off to the side to make way for the hugger's head, giving the illusion that his head is jutting out of her neck.

If you still can't see it, here's a visual explainer of what's going on.

And here's another version of the same hug illusion for you to wrap your head around.

If you still can't figure out what's going on, we don't judge you, but we really can't help any more than this.
