Grease (1978)

EW.com says: For Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John), summer lovin' with Danny Zuko (John Travolta) happened so fast — but it still wasn't as speedy as her physical transition into a bona fide badass. Yet the most rewarding thing about watching Sandy go through this process in the late 1950s was getting to experience the expansive sampling of music that accompanied her different looks. The tunes used in this fun-loving musical turned out to be as timeless as the clothes she wore.

InStyle.com: With a swipe of red lipstick, a teasing comb and some skintight spandex, Sandy shook her good girl image once and for all. Thanks to a broken zipper, Newton-John had to be sewn into those red-hot vintage 50's pants.
