My guess (without consulting anyone who would actually know): the masked woman in both this and the released version represents Juliet's spirit, her destiny, her death, or all three.
In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, the scene with Juliet on her balcony and Romeo wooing her from below results in their elopement and marriage, which in turn leads to their deaths. After their deaths, the families ended their feud. Their deaths were a sacrifice, in that sense. In the video, the masked woman interrupts this and leads Juliet through the scenes with the manikin-like women and the strange dance. At the end of the dance, everyone except Juliet and the masked woman falls down. (Dead?) We can see the final fight-like dance as an acting-out of the family feud, with everyone getting killed (which they didn't in the play because the young lovers died and that shocked everyone out of their stupidity). The kiss, I think, is the masked woman assuming the identity of Juliet, merging the two of them, so that Juliet in the corset, Juliet playing that role, is no more, and the masked woman (Juliet's spirit) is free.

1) Its meaning was too obscure; and 2) It could divert everyone's attention from what the video was saying to questions of whether Lili was going lezzie.
