Unlike Kismet, I do not live in a major metropolitan area. This means I have to wait until this weekend to see the much-talked-about Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. I would love to see it today or tomorrow, but it’s three hours long so my only options are in the afternoon. This is a very first world problem, as is my dilemma about theme dressing.
As a blonde lady with long hair, it’s super easy to cosplay Elizabeth Holmes. You just put your hair back in a messy dishelved pony, use red lipstick and wear a black turtleneck. People are also wearing the white shirt and black puffer vest combo, as seen on Amanda Seyfried-as-Holmes. I will theme dress for any movie, like when I wore a slip dress and gold jewelry for The Odyssey. That was an easy decision.
Do I dress up as Elizabeth Holmes for this though? If I do, will I be seen as homaging her somehow? I could go with the Elizabeth Holmes redux personality and wear a brown sweater, messy hair with a clip and jeans. No one would realize it’s a costume though. The lady is awful and I’m sure she’s just put on a new personna for this role. I’ll find out more hopefully when I see it. Or maybe not, people are saying it’s up to interpretation, but I’ve been working hard to avoid spoilers.
There are surely more people wondering whether they should dress as Holmes. It’s probably going to be as popular a Halloween costume as Nikki from Obsession. We’re also going to see couple’s costumes with Holmes and filmmaker Nathan Fielder. He just wears a white t-shirt layered with a blue crewneck and some headphones. As Variety mentions, you can get his headphones for under $10. (As someone who just bought earbuds at Dollar Tree – respect.)

Welp., I guess all of us that live on the West Coast are going to be accidentally cos-playing EH, because this entire outfit, including the coffee mug is the uniform.
🤭
A couple of these women are scary good at doing the bug-eyed Big Blue Stare.
It would freak me out to see a bunch of Elizabeth Holmes dress-ups. I’m sure they wouldn’t go trick or treating with the little kids. If I saw that, I’d be tempted to call the police.
The only EH Halloween costume I want to see is her in the khaki prison uniform. Bonus points for handcuffs and shackles.
This woman is a dangerous scam artist. I will not watch this film because I know there is some way it will benefit her. Why are we hearing so much about her right now. She is in a cushy prison and just had her sentence reduced. Her boyfriend is working on this:
The Technology: Haemanthus is developing compact diagnostic devices that use tunable lasers and Raman spectroscopy (analyzing how light interacts with molecules) to read molecular patterns in blood, urine, and saliva samples.
Oh, my.
