THE TIGHT BLACK trousers and leather jacket sported by Olivia Newton-John in Grease have been sold for more than €350,000.
They were among 500 lots which went under the hammer in Beverly Hills, with the proceeds of the sale of the clothes going to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre.
The combo were sported by Sandy in the hit 1978 film for its final number of You’re The One That I Want, with the jacket selling for €217,000 and the trousers for €145,000.
The items went under the hammer at Julien’s Auctions, with a poster signed by Grease stars Newton-John, John Travolta and other cast members going for €57,000 and a Pink Ladies jacket given to the British-born singer fetched €44,500, 25 times its estimate.
Both buyers of the trousers and jacket wish to remain anonymous, though the buyer of the jacket told Darren Julien: “I’m proud to be the owner of this incredible piece of pop culture history.”
