Spanx founder Sara Blakely said “You’re The One That I Want” to Olivia Newton-John‘s famed black satin pants from Grease.
“My friends called me two days before the auction and I didn’t know it was happening. She told me they’re putting the pants up, and the outfit, for charity. And I thought ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to try to get these.’ “ The pants sold for more than $162,000 and will be going on display at Spanx headquarters. https://t.co/hKqGKcaU9l pic.twitter.com/uyH0I8Y9wl

She is the OG of black leggings, I had to own them as the Spanx founder.”
