Washington Square Park in New York hosted a joint lookalike contest for Elizabeth Holmes, founder of Theranos, and comedian Nathan Fielder, the website infohub.kz reports.
Hundreds of city residents gathered in the Manhattan park to compete for the title of best celebrity lookalike. The event was timed to the release of the documentary You Can See Everything, in which Fielder explored the rise and fall of the scandal-plagued startup. The film sparked a new wave of interest in the entrepreneur, who is serving a prison sentence for fraud.
Participants approached their costumes with particular attention to detail. Holmes impersonators took to the makeshift stage in her signature black turtlenecks, with messy blonde buns, red lipstick and blood collection vials in hand. Fielder lookalikes copied his deadpan expression, understated dark sweaters and salt-and-pepper hairstyles.
Winners were chosen by the audience through applause. Such lookalike contests have become a notable trend in New York following viral competitions for actor Timothée Chalamet lookalikes. Organizers handed the creators of the most accurate looks commemorative prizes and symbolic cash awards.
