Madonna appeals for return of vintage Coachella costume
By Lauren Del Fabbro, Press Association Entertainment Reporter
Madonna has said the vintage costume she wore at Coachella has gone missing and has appealed for its “safe return”.
The Like A Virgin singer joined popstar Sabrina Carpenter on stage on Friday for her second weekend headline slot at the music festival in California, where she wore a vintage purple corset dress.
The piece has since gone missing, and the singer posted on her Instagram story offering a reward for the pieces, including a jacket, corset and dress, to be returned.
It comes after the singer announced the sequel to her Confessions On A Dancefloor album will be released on July 3.
She wrote: “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.
“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.
“I’m hoping and praying that some kind soul will find these items and reach out to my team.
“I’m offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all my heart.”
The pair performed songs including Madonna’s hits Vogue and Like A Prayer, along with a new song reportedly from the 67-year-old’s upcoming album Confessions II, during Friday’s set at the festival in California.
It will be her 15th studio album, and follows the Grammy-winning 2005 album, known for its nightclub music and hits such as Sorry and Hung Up.
Madonna launched her career in the 1980s and has won a number of accolades including seven Grammys and two Brit awards.
She has had 13 UK number one singles and 12 number one albums.
