A leather outfit worn by Olivia Newton-John in Grease has been sold for more than £300,000 at an auction in Beverly Hills.
The jacket and tight leather trousers were sported by her character Sandy in the hit 1978 film during the final song You're The One That I Want alongside Danny Zuko, played by John Travolta.
While the jacket fetched £188,000, the trousers were sold for £125,000 - double the expected price.
Newton-John's trousers were too tight for her to wear during filming so she had to be sewn into them, and they were sold with a broken zip.
In total, 500 lots went under the hammer in California - and proceeds from the sale are going to the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre.
A Grease poster signed by Newton-John, Travolta and other cast members was sold for almost £50,000, while a Pink Ladies jacket given to the actress fetched £38,000 - 25 times its estimate.
The profits from Newton-John's lot totalled $2.4m (£1.86m).

Newton-John revealed earlier in the year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer for third time since 1992.
Her centre aims to support the mind as well as the body of cancer sufferers.
Some of the other items sold were original scripts from the film, complete with annotations from the Australian singer, as well as the gown she wore to the movie's premiere and the shoes she wore during rehearsals.
