Find “the one that you want” from our list of Grease costumes — all inspired by outfits from the iconic 1978 film, starring John Travolta as Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson. There are costumes for adults, kids, toddlers, and infants, with both easy DIY costume ideas and Grease costumes you can buy online. HOW TO STYLE YOUR WIG:• Use a wide wire wig brush and plastic comb to prevent static when brushing the wig (you can even use your fingers). Wolsky, a costume veteran whose career spans six decades, says it remains part of his reputation. “That will be on my tombstone, that’s for sure,” he says. “I’ve done Sophie’s Choice, I won an Academy Award for All That Jazz, but this is the one that I’m that I’m known for.” Kate Bailey, a senior curator at the V&A in London, who works on costume, believes the outfit was, at the time, a glimpse into the future. “It throws us into the bold, empowered dressing of [the 1980s],” she says. “[The 70s] was a time when women were wearing pinafores and flares. [This outfit] is marking a moment in the story of Grease, but it’s also a fashion statement. It really goes ahead of its time.” After her death, other style moments from Newton-John’s career are likely to be rediscovered. The headband and leotard worn for her 1981 hit song Physical will no doubt appeal to a generation raised on athleisure, while the spacey disco look of the 1980 film Xanadu already has a cult following. But, says Bailey, “I don’t think it will ever eclipse Grease. It’s the character of Sandy. That costume, that breakout moment, that reaction by Danny.”

A bonus wig cap is included for added comfort and to keep your own hair under wraps It was very clear from the beginning that she would have to change,” says Grease’s costume designer, Albert Wolsky. “The idea was easy because she had been so girlish, so you had to go the other way – totally tight and sophisticated.” While Wolsky made Newton-John’s outfits for most of the movie, the infamous top and trousers were bought vintage. As Newton-John relays in her 2019 autobiography, the zip was broken and she was sewn into the trousers each morning. “They were so old, and there was just one pair, so there was no room for error,” she wrote. “One rip and disaster.” Gruner says humour is all-important. “You could read that final scene as her moving from one stereotype to [another],” he says. “[But] Newton-John plays that role with a tongue wedged firmly in her cheek … [The way] she looks to her friends for directions on how to drop the cigarette, for example.” Olivia Newton-John donned a headband and leotard for the video of her 1981 hit song Physical.

In the final scene of Grease, Sandy’s style is transformed from the cutesy poodle skirts and pastels colours of the 1950s.

Drip dry. You can use hot styling tools such as irons or curlers but temperature must be below 180°C / 356°F. In case you haven't heard, Grease is the word! Of course, no one knows this better than Ree Drummond, who counts the 1978 musical rom-com as one of her favorite movies of all time. If you love the film just as much as Ree does, then you'll probably be just as hopelessly devoted to these electrifying Grease Halloween costumes.
