Madonna offers reward after several Coachella outfits go missing

Madonna has issued a plea for help after her Coachella outfits 'went missing' following her performance at the music festival with Sabrina Carpenter.

The 67-year-old 'Material Girl' singer surprised fans when she joined the 'Espresso' hitmaker, 26, on stage for her second headline performance on Friday (17 April).

The Queen of Pop dueted legendary hits with Carpenter, including 'Vogue,' 'Like A Prayer,' and a song seemingly from Madonna's upcoming album, Confessions II.

However, it seems that the iconic performance has ended on a sour note, as a number of Madonna's archival items have mysteriously gone missing.

The hitmaker took to her Instagram Story on Monday (20 April) to announce the sad news and offer a reward for the 'safe return' of her clothes.

She penned: "Still flying high since Friday night at Coachella! Thank you to Sabrina and everyone who made it possible. Bringing Confessions II back to where it began was such a thrill!"

The singer added: "This full circle moment hit different until I discovered that the vintage pieces 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."

Madonna signed off by urging, "I'm hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team at [email protected]. I'm offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart."

The star's surprise Coachella appearance coincided with the announcement of the new album, which is due for release on July 3 as the official sequel to her 2005 album.

While on stage, as reported by Billboard, Madonna confirmed that she was wearing an all purple outfit - the same corset, boots, and Gucci jacket from her 2006 Coachella appearance.

This time, she overlaid the look with a ruffled lilac mini dress and matching stockings, as well as a pair of oversized sunnies.

Speaking to the crowd, she said: "Twenty years ago today, I performed at Coachella - I was in the dance tent, and it was the first time I performed Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part I 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... so it's a like a full circle moment you know - very meaningful for me."

She went on to joke that it's the first time she's performed with someone shorter than her, telling Carpenter: "Thank you for giving me that experience."

Talking about the missing outfits on social media, one X user penned: "those are literal artifacts from the roman empire pls return them."

While a second added: "She must be so sad, those are historic and iconic garments!!"

And a third wrote: "Madonna bringing out actual museum pieces for a quick Coachella pop-out and then losing them is insane. Hope they turn up soon, those Confessions outfits are straight-up history."
