Elizabeth Holmes Look-Alike Contest Draws Mass of Black Turtlenecks to Lafayette Park

Saturday saw a horde of Elizabeth Holmes converge on San Francisco's Lafayette Park alongside a few hundred spectators for a look-alike contest inspired by A24's new meta-documentary mega hit You Can See Everything . A plastic surgery resident at Stanford University took home top honors. As the Chronicle reports , approximately two dozen would-be Elizabeth Holmes turned out to do battle in a contest organized by a handful of 20-something SF residents. Inspired by the turnout at a New York edition that took place in last month , organizers say a Partiful listing for the look-alike contest received 1,000 RSVPS almost as soon as it went live. The event also saw a contest held for the best Nathan Fielder look-alike, ensuring You Can See Everything 's on-screen co-director wasn't missing from the afternoon's festivities. Incredibly, organizers managed to secure an impressively fitting sponsor for the whole affair: Think Jerky, the Texas jerky brand who makes a memorable cameo late in the film once Holmes has reported to prison. “The jerky is everything,” attendee Kristyn Braden told the Chronicle.

Amazingly, per the Chronicle, the 30-year-old Stingl has also received funding from Stanford to develop a medical device. “It’s a little eerie, given my background,” Stingl told the Chronicle of her victory. In remarks captured by KRON4 , organizer and co-host Tanvi Kaur celebrated the event for being the good kind of weird. “Historically, SF has been a place for weird people, creative energy, and a lot of really cool ideas," Kaur said. "I feel like we are losing a little bit of that spark, so our whole mission is to bring that fun and audacity back to the city. I think we need more audacity."
