Madonna has offered a reward for the return of vintage costumes that went missing after her surprise performance at Coachella alongside Sabrina Carpenter. The pop icon revealed on Instagram that several pieces from her wardrobe, including a lavender corset and dress as well as a Gucci jacket in deep purple, had gone missing following her appearance at the California music festival last Friday.

According to Madonna's Instagram post, these items are part of her personal archives and were originally worn during her Coachella performance 20 years ago. She described the pieces as not just clothes but a significant part of her history. The Indio Police Department confirmed that a police report was filed, stating that the bags containing the costumes may have fallen off a golf cart operated by staff who were on their way to load them onto a bus.

Madonna expressed her disappointment in another Instagram post, noting that this 'full circle moment hit different until I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing.' She urged anyone with knowledge about the missing costumes to reach out to her team at infomaverick2026@gmail.com and said she is offering a reward for their safe return. The police spokesperson noted there was 'no evidence to suggest the bags were intentionally stolen.'

During the performance, Madonna and Carpenter duetted on classics like 'Vogue' and 'Like a Prayer', and debuted verses from what appeared to be a new collaboration. Madonna also unveiled a teaser for her upcoming album, Confessions on a Dance Floor II, set to release in July.
