In case you haven't heard, Grease is the word! Of course, no one knows this better than Ree Drummond, who counts the 1978 musical rom-com as one of her favorite movies of all time. If you love the film just as much as Ree does, then you'll probably be just as hopelessly devoted to these electrifying Grease Halloween costumes.
There are plenty of great store-bought picks here, including a few that are officially licensed for a truly authentic look. If homemade Halloween costumes are your thing, though, then you have to check out the DIY inspiration for "Good Sandy," "Bad Sandy," a beauty school dropout, and more iconic Grease characters.
