Find “the one that you want” from our list of Grease costumes — all inspired by outfits from the iconic 1978 film, starring John Travolta as Danny Zuko and Olivia Newton-John as Sandy Olsson. There are costumes for adults, kids, toddlers, and infants, with both easy DIY costume ideas and Grease costumes you can buy online.
We’ve included the movie’s most iconic outfits, such as the leather T-Bird ensemble and glossy Pink Lady jackets. But we didn’t stop there. For those looking for a unique costume idea, we’ve also included lesser known outfits from the movie, such as Frenchy’s beauty school dropout outfit and Rizzo’s fitted black dress. These Grease-themed picks are great for group costumes and family costumes alike — that way, everyone can dress as someone different. We wouldn’t want a fight to break out among the T-Birds, now would we?
Though not required, we also recommend listening to the Grease soundtrack while getting Halloween party ready. It’ll set the mood for the perfect night out with friends while getting the crew in the costume spirit. After all, who can resist singing along to “Greased Lightnin’,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” or “Summer Nights”?
Danny Zuko is the epitome of cool. He can rock a leather jacket and a greased up pompadour like no other. You can copy his look with the help of your very own T-Birds jacket.
What's the only thing cooler than a Danny Zuko costume? A tiny Danny Zuko costume. Your kiddo will feel like the flyest guy in the neighborhood with this look.
