Australian television legend Kerri-Anne Kennerley led a cavalcade of celebrities ahead of the opening night of Grease: The Musical.

The 70-year-old presenter appeared on the red carpet in a funky ensemble reminiscent of the Pink Ladies from the classic 1950s musical, which premiered at Sydney’s Capitol Theater on Tuesday.

Instead of the iconic pink bomber jacket worn by the musical’s glamorous high school characters, Kerri-Anne opted for a sparkly version.

The TV and radio veteran wore a black shirt and, in homage to the role of Sandy made famous by Olivia Newton-John, Kerri-Anne wore tight black pants.

She paired her jacket with a sparkly clutch and, in another nod to the Pink Ladies, painted her nails neon pink.

Kerri-Anne, ever the showman, took a turn and revealed a colorful floral pattern emblazoned on the back of her jacket.

The new yellow Wiggle, Tsehay Hawkins, also dazzled in another 50s-inspired look.

The singer and dancer rocked waist-length red leather pants and a low-cut black top, and carried a black leather jacket over her shoulder.

But Tsehay wasn’t the only Wiggle in attendance, as Simon Pryce, the new red Wiggle, walked the red carpet with his wife, Lauren Hannaford.

Elsewhere, Erin Holland stunned in a bright green dress with a classic “school dance” vibe.
