Outfit stolen after sharing stage with Sabrina Carpenter

Pop queen Madonna (67) suffered a bizarre theft just as the excitement of her surprise appearance at Coachella was fading. On the 20th (local time), Madonna posted on her Instagram Story, "The vintage outfits I wore at Coachella are gone," appealing for help and offering a reward.

On the 17th, Madonna made a surprise guest appearance on Sabrina Carpenter's second-week Coachella headliner set. As Carpenter performed "Juno" — a highlight of her "Short n' Sweet" tour where fans eagerly await the moment a celebrity is "arrested" at center stage — Madonna appeared, prompting tens of thousands of audience members to erupt in cheers. The two ignited the stage with their 1990 classic hit "Vogue" and premiered the new song "Bring Your Love" from their upcoming album "Confessions on a Dance Floor II," scheduled for release on July 3, for the first time globally.

On stage, Madonna said, "Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me," to which Carpenter replied, "You're welcome. Madonna can have anything she wants," expressing her emotion. Madonna then added humorously, "Actually, this feels like the first time I've performed with someone shorter than me," drawing laughter. Later, as backup dancers dressed as nuns filled the stage, the two closed the performance with a powerful rendition of "Like a Prayer."

Madonna said, "Twenty years ago today, I performed at the Coachella Dance Tent. This time, I returned with the same boots, the same corset, and the same Gucci jacket. It felt like a complete return to the beginning, making it a truly meaningful moment." Indeed, the lavender corset bodysuit, Gucci leather jacket, and boots she wore were archival pieces she had actually worn on the Coachella stage in 2006.

"These are not just clothes. They are part of my history."

However, the emotion did not last long. Madonna began her Instagram Story on the 20th by saying, "I'm still not over the excitement from Coachella Friday night," before revealing, "But I discovered that the vintage outfits I wore are gone. The jacket, corset, dress — everything was taken from my personal archive." She emphasized, "These are not just clothes. They are part of my history." It is reported that other archival items from the same era also disappeared.

Madonna said, "I pray and hope that someone kind-hearted will find these items and contact me," while sharing her team's email address and stating, "I will offer a reward for their safe return." Madonna's return to Coachella marks 11 years since she made headlines in 2015 by appearing as a guest on Drake's headliner set and sharing a kiss.
