Take a look back at Olivia Newton-John's most iconic on and off-set outfits - from 'Grease' to 'Xanadu' and more - following the Grease star's tragic death from cancer aged 73
August 09, 2022 - 15:59 BST Tania Leslau The moment she sashayed into frame wearing those skin-tight black trousers and leather jacket, Olivia Newton-John cemented her name in the fashion history books. The late actress was synonymous with the role of Sandy in Grease, who arguably undergoes the most iconic style transformation in the grand canon of costume.It wasn't just her on-set looks that captivated audiences.
Along with her girl greaser leather jacket from the beloved You're The One That I Want scene, the skin-tight trousers were sold for $405,700 dollars in order to raise money for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute.The red flares Olivia was photographed circa 1970 wearing a fur hat and jacket outside the Savoy Hotel in London. Combined with her lipstick-red flared trousers, this fur concoction remains one of her most luxurious looks to date.Following its release, the song 'Physical' was an instant smash hit. The music video for the deliciously catchy and somewhat controversial tune wiped away Olivia's clean-cut appearance as the singer danced around in a white leotard, candy pink tights and an aqua wrap.
Sandy's character arc in Grease is a testament to the fact that, whether you like it or not, bad boys just have that certain something. During her brief fling with squeaky clean jock Tom, the film's protagonist donned a white pleated poodle-esque skirt and red classic collar varsity top.
