Madonna has said that the outfit she wore when she joined Sabrina Carpenter onstage Friday night at Coachella has gone missing.
The Queen of Pop, 67, added that other items from her archive also disappeared. She is offering a reward for the return of the clothes.
Madonna’s surprise appearance at the California festival saw her perform some of her classic hits along with a new song, from her upcoming album, Confessions II, a sequel to her 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. She promoted that original album with an appearance at the same event in 2006.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, Madonna wrote: “Still flying high since Friday night at Coachella! Thank you to Sabrina and everyone who made it possible. Bringing Confessions Il back to where it began was such a thrill!”
She continued: “This full circle moment hit different until I discovered that the vintage pieces that I wore went missing — my costume that was pulled from my personal archives — jacket, corset, dress and all other garments. These aren’t just clothes, they are part of my history. Other archival items from the same era went missing as well.”
Appealing to the public for help, she wrote: “I’m hoping and praying that some kind soul, will find these items and reach out to my team at: Infomaverick2026@gmail.com. I’m offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all My Heart.”
During Carpenter’s performance on Friday night, the 26 year-old was singing her track “Juno” when she reached a popular moment where she asks, “Have you ever tried this one?” and then strikes a pose.
In this instance, the song cut to Madonna’s iconic hit “Vogue,” at which point Madonna joined Carpenter on stage.
“Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me on your show,” the queen of pop told the younger star.
“No thanks needed, Madonna, you can have whatever you want,” Carpenter responded.
Madonna said it was a “full circle” moment being back on the Coachella stage, having performed at the festival two decades ago.
“I have a few things I wanna get off my chest,” she told the audience. “Twenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella. I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed Confessions on the Dance Floor Part One in America.
“And that was such a thrill for me, so you can imagine what a thrill it is for me to be back 20 years later in the same boots, the same corset, the jacket I had on earlier, the same Gucci jacket. So, it’s like a full-circle moment, very meaningful for me.”
