## Summary

More than 1,000 people RSVP’d to a San Francisco competition inviting contestants to impersonate Elizabeth Holmes and comedian Nathan Fielder. The unusual gathering reflected interest in an A24 film about Holmes and a wider social media trend for celebrity lookalike contests.

Contestants wore black turtlenecks and headphones, among other props, and faced challenges including a staring contest, dance-off and business pitch. Sierra Stingl and Alex Kesin won the title of “most A24-approved”; organisers said they hoped the event would bring creative energy and community spirit back to the city.
