Olivia Newton-John's 9 Most Iconic Outfits From "Grease"

From her "Bad Sandy" all-black look at the carnival to her uniform of poodle skirts and polos, "Grease" star Olivia Newton-John established Sandy Olsson as a '50s style icon. As the world pays respect to Newton-John following the news of her death, it's time to look back at her "Grease" wardrobe, curated by costume designer Albert Wolskyn ("Bird Man" and "Across the Universe").

Wolsky slowly transitioned Sandy from a palette of pastels to major Pink Lady attitude. In Newton-John's memoir, "Don't Stop Believin'," she mentions the most iconic fashion moment of them all: her all-black look with red accents for the movie's final scene. The signature pants were a vintage item that fit so snug, she had to be sewn into them before shooting every single day over the course of a week. "They were so old, and there was just one pair, so there was no room for error. One rip and disaster," she wrote. "When I tried on those pants for the first time, the zipper was broken and Albert didn't want to rip them trying to put in a new one or remove the old one."

At 71, Newton-John put 500 cherished pieces up for sale in an auction to raise money for her cancer wellness and research center, and the black pants and leather jacket Sandy wore at the carnival reportedly sold to a bidder for $405,700.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
