Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!

We’re calling it now, you’re going to see a lot of “Cool Sandy” from Grease Halloween costumes this year. Like, more than usual.

For starters, there was the amazing Grease: Live on Fox back in January. Julianne Hough played Sandy and absolutely killed it, along with the rest of the cast. That was fun to watch!

Also, “it girl” Gigi Hadid dressed up as “Cool Sandy” for Heidi Klum‘s annual Halloween party. Talk about #costumegoals, amirite?

OK, so now that you *totally* want to be “Cool Sandy” for Halloween, here’s how to put together the costume.

You’re gonna need a sweet leather jacket if you don’t own one already. This Faux Leather Moto Jacket ($32.90) from Forever 21 is cheap and you will most definitely wear it after Halloween.

Now on to that classic off-the-shoulder top. Again, something you might own and will one hudo percent wear beyond October 31st. Our pick is this Structured Off Shoulder Top ($22, down from $46) from ASOS.

It’s almost like Boohoo made the Beci High Waisted Super Skinny Disco Pants ($40) with “Cool Sandy” in mind. At least that was the first thing I thought of when I saw them. So, of course, they are our pick for this costume.

You gotta have red platform heels if you really want to nail this costume. This pair of Bethany Two Part Platform Heels ($44) should do the job and they look pretty comfortable, actually!

Sandy Grease shoes

This Cool Sandy Wig ($11.99) is a must if you’re going all out. If you have blonde hair and want to do tight curls, make sure you have a curling iron that can do the job, like this Sultra The Bombshell Curling Iron ($130). Check out more of the best curling irons here.

Last but not least, you’re gonna need the best red lipstick in the game. Enter: MAC Ruby Woo ($17) . What, did you think we were gonna recommend anything else??
