旧金山Lafayette Park办Elizabeth Holmes模仿大赛：逾千人报名 斯坦福住院医师Sierra Stingl夺冠
在美国加利福尼亚州旧金山市的Lafayette Park，约二十多名装扮成Theranos创始人Elizabeth Holmes的参赛者与另一组模仿喜剧人Nathan Fielder的参赛者，11月7日周六下午同场比拼，数百名观众围观。据《纽约邮报》与旧金山本地媒体SFist报道，这场模仿大赛在活动平台Partiful上的报名人数超过1,000人，最终斯坦福大学整形外科住院医师Sierra Stingl赢得Holmes组冠军，旧金山播客主Alex Kesin赢得Fielder组冠军。
参赛者大多穿着Holmes标志性的黑色高领毛衣、戴着耳机、头发紧紧向后梳，有人还向人群抛撒假100美元钞票。主办方没有只比外形：参赛者还要参加瞪眼比赛和舞蹈对决，Holmes组要现场做一段创业路演，Fielder组则要展示自己的营销方案。两位冠军获得「最获A24认可」的称号，以及皇冠、耳机和可以炫耀的谈资。
这场比赛由社交账号@threegirlsinsf的主办团队发起，起因是A24纪录片《You Can See Everything》上映。该片由Nathan Fielder与Lance Oppenheim执导，围绕Holmes与她创办的Theranos展开。联合主持人Miranda Stern对KRON4说，团队原本只预计有几位朋友到场，没想到会来这么多人；另一位联合主持人Tanvi Kaur说，团队希望把旧金山那种古怪、好玩、敢玩的劲头带回来。观众Jade Adu对KRON4说，自己在TikTok等社交平台上看过很多名人模仿大赛，这次就想来现场看看。
Holmes曾宣称Theranos的技术只需几滴血就能完成数百项医学检测，后来的调查揭露其技术与经营存在严重问题，公司于2018年解散，Holmes于2022年因欺诈投资者被判处11年以上联邦监禁。此前GSM已报道过这部纪录片的票房表现，这场公园模仿大赛是该片热度溢出到线下社群活动的一个例子。

Elizabeth Holmes Lookalike Contest Draws Crowds to San Francisco's Lafayette Park: Stanford Resident Sierra Stingl Wins
At Lafayette Park in San Francisco, California, about two dozen contestants dressed as Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and a separate group imitating comedian Nathan Fielder competed on the afternoon of Saturday, November 7, before a crowd of several hundred spectators. According to the New York Post and San Francisco local outlet SFist, the lookalike contest drew more than 1,000 RSVPs on the event platform Partiful. Sierra Stingl, a plastic-surgery resident at Stanford University, won the Holmes category, while San Francisco podcaster Alex Kesin won the Fielder category.
Most contestants wore Holmes's signature black turtleneck, headphones and tightly pulled-back hair, and one contestant tossed fake $100 bills into the crowd. Dressing the part was not enough to win: contestants also faced a staring contest and a dance-off, with the Holmes entrants asked to deliver a mock startup pitch and the Fielder entrants asked to present their own marketing strategies. The two winners earned the title of “most A24-approved,” along with a crown, headphones and bragging rights.
The contest was organized by the team behind the social account @threegirlsinsf following the release of the A24 documentary “You Can See Everything,” directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim and centered on Holmes and the company she founded, Theranos. Co-host Miranda Stern told KRON4 the team had expected only a few friends to show up and did not expect a turnout like this, while co-host Tanvi Kaur said the team's mission was to bring back San Francisco's weird, creative spark and audacity. Attendee Jade Adu told KRON4 she had seen many celebrity lookalike contests on TikTok and other social platforms and wanted to see one in person.
Holmes had claimed Theranos technology could run hundreds of medical tests from just a few drops of blood, but investigations later exposed serious problems with the company's technology and business practices. The company dissolved in 2018, and Holmes was sentenced in 2022 to more than 11 years in federal prison after being convicted of defrauding investors. GSM has previously reported on the documentary's box-office run; the park contest shows that buzz spilling over into an offline community event.
