San Francisco hosts Elizabeth Holmes look-alike contest
Hundreds of spectators gathered at Lafayette Park in San Francisco on Saturday for a look-alike competition inspired by the A24 documentary “You Can See Everything”. The event featured contestants attempting to impersonate convicted fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and filmmaker Nathan Fielder.
Participants adopted the signature aesthetic of the subjects, wearing black turtlenecks, headphones, and tightly pulled-back hair. One contestant even distributed fake $100 bills to the crowd. Sierra Stingl, a plastic surgery resident at Stanford University, was awarded top honors for her resemblance to Holmes.
The event, which saw approximately 1,000 RSVPs via Partiful, was organized by local residents to celebrate the film and bring creative energy back to the city. The competition was sponsored by Think Jerky, a brand that appears in the documentary.
