How to Recreate Sandy’s Iconic Grease Look for Halloween

Olivia Newton-John’s final look in Grease is the very definition of iconic. When Sandy struts onscreen in her all-black outfit, big curly hair, and sky-high confidence, it’s one of the most unforgettable transformations in movie history.

So why not channel that energy this Halloween? This easy DIY costume is perfect for last-minute planners and ‘bad girl’ energy lovers alike. Bonus points if you’ve got a friend to dress up as Danny!

What You Need for Sandy’s Grease Transformation:

1. Black Leather Jacket
This is the star of the show. Whether it's faux or real leather, cropped or classic—this piece pulls everything together.

2. Leather or Faux Leather Leggings
High-shine leggings are easy to find these days. You can even score a pair under $30 at most stores. Want something that lasts? I love my Spanx faux leather leggings—totally worth the splurge.

3. Fitted Black Top
Crop top or off-the-shoulder—either works! Just aim for something form-fitting. Bonus if it has a vintage or ribbed vibe.

4. Red or Black Heels
Sandy wears red shoes in the final scene, but honestly, go with what you’ve got. Black pumps, kitten heels, or even red flats will all work.

5. Big, Curly Hair (or Wig!)
Hot rollers, a curling iron, and some serious teasing will do the trick. Don’t be afraid of volume! No time to style? A curly blonde wig is a quick, easy fix.

Style Tip:

Add a swipe of red lipstick and your best “tell me about it, stud” smirk to complete the look.

Whether you’re headed to a Halloween party or just dressing up for fun, this costume will turn heads and spark conversations. It’s nostalgic, recognizable, and ridiculously easy to put together with pieces you might already have at home.
