Just call her Frenchy.

Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen has been cast as Pink Lady “Frenchy” in the upcoming production of “Grease: Live,” Fox announced Wednesday.

The “Call Me Maybe” singer moves to TV after spending much of 2014 starring in “Cinderella” on Broadway.

Lending more pop-star cred to the live event is singer Jessie J, whom Fox has tapped to open the Jan. 31 telecast with a performance of a brand-new version of “Grease (Is the Word).”

Also cast are Kether Donohue (“You’re the Worst”) as Pink Lady “Jan” and David Del Rio (“The Troop”) as T-Bird “Putzie.”

They join previously announced “Grease” cast members Julianne Hough (“Dancing With the Stars”) as “Sandy,” Aaron Tveit (“Graceland”) as “Danny,” Vanessa Hudgens (Broadway’s “Gigi”) as “Rizzo,” Carlos PenaVega (“Big Time Rush”) as “Kenickie” and Keke Palmer (“Scream Queens”) as “Marty.”
