INDIO, California — April 21, 2026
Madonna has announced a reward for the return of several costumes that went missing following her guest performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
The missing items include a jacket, corset, dress, and other unspecified pieces worn during her April 20 appearance, where she joined singer Sabrina Carpenter for a rendition of her 1989 hit "Like a Prayer." The theft was confirmed by multiple sources close to the artist, though details about how the costumes disappeared remain unclear.
Missing Costumes and Reward Offer
Madonna’s team has not disclosed the monetary value of the reward but confirmed that efforts are underway to recover the items. The costumes are described as integral to her performance aesthetic, with one source noting their "highly customized" nature. The singer, known for her meticulous stage presentations, has historically collaborated with top designers for her tour and festival wardrobes.
This marks the first time Madonna has faced such an incident at Coachella, where she first performed in 2006 and made a guest appearance with Drake in 2015. The festival’s backstage security protocols are now under scrutiny, though no official statements have been released by Coachella organizers.
