They're the pants that I want: buyer pays $405,700 for Olivia Newton-John’s Grease outfit

Actor's famous black trousers and leather jacket sold at auction along with other memorabilia, raising $2.4m

Olivia Newton-John's tight black trousers and leather jacket from the movie Grease have sold for $405,700 at a Beverly Hills auction, more than double the expected price.

The outfit that marked the transition of Newton-John's character in the 1978 musical from demure high schooler to sexy Sandy was among 500 items for sale at Julien's Auctions to help raise money for the performer's cancer treatment centre in Australia.
