The sleek biker jacket became a cult item after Olivia’s beloved character Sandy donned it for the finale of the legendary musical that also starred John Travolta.
She appears at the end of the film in a slinky black catsuit and the jacket after undergoing a complete transformation.
Shrugging the red-silk lined bomber, she performs the iconic song ‘You’re The One That I Want’ while smoking a cigarette.
The jacket was among dozens of famous movie memorabilia up for grabs at the auction called Property From the Estate of Olivia Newton-John on Saturday.
Many of the items were props or outfits owned by the late singer who died in 2022.
Some of the other bits available included her 2002 ARIA Hall of Fame Award, which sold for over £10,000, her 2014 passport and a copy of a handwritten speech.
This isn’t the first time the jacket has been sold as back in 2019 it was purchased through another auction for a huge £295,000.
The generous buyer returned the jacket to Olivia in the years before her death and it has remained in her possession ever since.
She was pictured standing next to it in 2019 – wearing her own similar get-up.
The four-time Grammy Award-winner died at her Ranch in Southern California surrounded by loved ones two years ago.
She had beat breast cancer twice – but was diagnosed again in 2017.
The star, aged 73 at the time of her death, was survived by her husband and daughter, Chloe Rose Lattanzi, alongside other family members.
