Iconic leather jacket worn by movie star Olivia Newton John in Grease sells for jaw-dropping price at auction
OLIVIA Newton-John’s iconic black leather jacket from the musical Grease has sold at auction for a jaw-dropping price.
The piece of Hollywood history was snapped up by a lucky buyer in Los Angeles for a whopping $476,250 (£377,147).
The sleek biker jacket was a staple outfit for Olivia’s beloved character in the legendary blockbuster that also starred John Travolta.
The jacket was among dozens of famous movie memorabilia up for grabs at the auction called Property From the Estate of Olivia Newton-John.
Many of the items were props or outfits owned by the late singer who died in 2022.
Some of the other bits available included her 2002 ARIA Hall of Fame Award, which sold for over £10,000, her 2014 passport and a copy of a handwritten speech.
This isn’t the first time the jacket has been sold as back in 2019 it was purchased through another auction for a huge £295,000.
The generous buyer returned the jacket to Olivia in the years before her death and it has remained in her possession ever since.
The four-time Grammy Award-winner died at her Ranch in Southern California due to breast cancer surrounded by loved ones two years ago.
The star, aged 73 at the time of her death, is survived by her husband and daughter, Chloe Rose Lattanzi, alongside other family members.
