More than 40 years after Grease‘s release, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are back as Danny and Sandy.
Travolta, 65, and Newton-John, 71, reunited and dressed up as the iconic lovebirds during the Meet n’ Grease sing-along event at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, Florida on Friday.
The People report that in a backstage photo shared by Newton-John, the actress can be seen wearing a yellow cardigan and matching skirt similar to the outfit her character wore in the 1978 film, while her former costar rocks an all-black ensemble complete with a leather jacket.
Their costumed reunion came after a month after Newton-John auctioned off the famous leather jacket she wore during the Grease finale. Though it was purchased for a whopping $243,000 to raise funds for the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Center, the movie memorabilia was recently returned to the star to put on permanent display at the Melbourne, Australia-based research institute.
“First time in costume since we made the movie,” Newton-John captioned the candid snapshot. “So excited!!”
Later in the evening, Newton-John ditched the “good girl” outfit for a leather jacket and black leggings like the one she wore during the Greasefinale. She also joined Travolta for a Q&A with fans following the sing-along.
