Olivia Newton-Johns Grease Outfit Sells for $405,000 at Auction

Olivia Newton-Johns iconic Grease leather jacket and black pants sold at auction Saturday for $405,000, more than double its pre-auction estimate.

The combined outfit, which the actress-singer wore during the films closing performance of Youre the One That I Want, was the top-selling item in a Juliens Live auctiondedicated to Newton-Johns personal collection; the black leather jacket itself sold for $243,200 and the pants had a high bid of $162,500.

All proceeds from the sale of the Grease jacket and pants will benefit the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre, while a portion of the 500+ items also sold at auction will also go toward that organization; in 2018, Newton-John revealed she is battling cancer for a third time.

Other notable items at the Newton-John auction included the actress custom-made Pink Ladies jacket monogrammed Sandy from the Grease shoot ($50,000) and a Grease movie poster signed by Newton-John and her co-star John Travolta; expected to fetch $1,000, the movie poster ultimately sold for $64,000. An outfit the singer wore during a performance of Physical on the Merv Griffin Show in 1981 hit a high bid of $31,000.

The $405,000 sale of Newton-Johns Grease outfit comes a week after Juliens Auctions sold Kurt Cobains MTV Unplugged sweater for a record $334,000.
