Olivia Newton-John’s Iconic ‘Grease’ Costume Nets Unexpected Fortune At Auction

LOS ANGELES, CA — Two collectors said you’re the one that I want to Olivia Newton-John’s iconic “Grease” leather jacket and skintight pants at an auction Saturday in Beverly Hills.

Julien’s Auctions says the combined ensemble, which Newton-John’s character Sandy wears in the closing number of the 1978 film, fetched $405,700 total. That’s more than double the expected price. The leather jacket sold for $243,200 and the pants, which Newton-John famously had to be sewn into, went for $162,500. They were sold with a broken zipper.

Other “Grease” memorabilia included a Pink Ladies jacket that went for $50,000.
