Madonna has appealed for the return of missing vintage costumes after Coachella appearance
The singer's jacket, corset and dress vanished after her Sabrina Carpenter guest set.

Vintage items from Madonna's personal archives have gone missing following her guest spot at Coachella 2026, prompting the singer to publicly appeal for their return and offer a reward.
The disappearance follows Madonna's surprise appearance alongside Sabrina Carpenter during the latter's headline set at weekend two of the California festival on 17th April. For the occasion, Madonna wore original pieces from her 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' era, pulled directly from her own collection. Addressing 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 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."
Taking to social media on 20th April, Madonna shared that a jacket, corset, dress and additional garments had all vanished. "Still flying high since Friday night at Coachella! Thank you to Sabrina and everyone who made it possible," she wrote. "Bringing 'Confessions II' back to where it began was such a thrill!"
She added: "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."
Urging anyone with knowledge of the items' whereabouts to come forward, she wrote that she was "hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team". Contact can be made via [email protected]. "I'm offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart," she added.
On stage with Carpenter, Madonna ran through 'Vogue' and 'Like A Prayer', while also giving the first live airing of a joint track called 'Bring Your Love'. A brief a cappella take on 'Get Together' from the original 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' record also featured. Her new single 'I Feel So Free' arrived on streaming platforms shortly afterwards, having first been played on LGBTQ+ station Pride Radio.
Producer Stuart Price, who helmed the original 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' in 2005, has returned for 'Confessions II'. The album arrives on 3rd July in both a 12-track standard edition and a deluxe version with four additional songs. Describing the record's spirit, Madonna has pointed to the opening lines of the track 'One Step Away': "People think that dance music is superficial, but they've got it all wrong. The dance floor is not just a place, it's a threshold: A ritualistic space where movement replaces language."
Last autumn, Madonna confirmed she had re-signed with Warner Records, stating she was "looking forward to the future, making music". Her most recent live dates were part of the 'Celebration Tour' across 2023 and 2024.
