Grease movie costumes sold at auction
The iconic costumes worn by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the film Grease are among the items going on sale in a film memorabilia auction.
Their outfits are among more than 1,300 items of "unforgettable" movie memorabilia from films such as Harry Potter, Star Wars and Ghostbusters that are set to be sold an LA auction in March.
Travolta's iconic T-Birds leather jacket, worn by his character Danny Zuko in the 1978 movie musical, is expected to fetch between $158,500 and $317,000 (AUD).
A patterned dress worn by Newton-John, who died in 2022 aged 73, is also on sale for $47,500-$95,000 (AUD).
Newton-John's character, Sandy Olsson, wore the dress in a scene where Sandy confronted Danny in the ice cream parlour about his behaviour while choosing music on a jukebox.
Other film items going up for auction include a bomber jacket worn by Tom Cruise as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in the 1986 action film Top Gun, a ghost trap from 1984 comedy horror Ghostbusters, Angelina Jolie’s jacket from 2003’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle Of Life, and the robe worn by Sir Michael Gambon as Professor Albus Dumbledore in 2009 fantasy Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.
“This auction brings together an exceptional line-up of some of the most recognisable and well-loved props and costumes in Hollywood history,” Propstore chief operating officer Brandon Alinger said.
“From Star Wars and Superman to Grease and Ghostbusters, these unforgettable pieces resonate with fans across the globe, sparking nostalgia and deep connection to the films and characters they love.”
