Madonna’s missing Coachella costume may have fallen off a golf cart.

Police in Indio, Calif., told ABC News on Tuesday, April 21, that a representative for the singer, 67, filed a missing property report for two bags of clothing and jewelry, which were last seen on a golf cart on the music festival grounds. Staff members drove the cart to a bus, and when they arrived at a hotel, realized the bags were missing.

The police’s preliminary investigation found that the cart was driven on a dark, bumpy road, and suggested that the items simply fell out during the journey. According to the report, “There is no evidence to suggest the bags were intentionally stolen.”

Earlier this week, Madonna made an announcement on her Instagram Stories revealing that the archival pieces she wore on the Main Stage during her surprise performance with headliner Sabrina Carpenter at Coachella are now lost.

The singer began her announcement by praising Carpenter, 26, for allowing her the opportunity to have that “full circle moment” alongside her at the festival on Friday, April 17.

Madonna, who debuted a song with Carpenter seemingly off her upcoming album, Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II, then asked for help to find those missing pieces.

Thank you to Sabrina and everyone who made it possible. Bringing Confessions Il back to where it began was such a thrill!” she began on Monday, April 20, adding, “This full circle moment hit different until l 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,” she continued. “These aren’t just clothes, they are part of my history. Other archival items from the same era went missing as well.”

Madonna concluded, “I’m hoping and praying that some kind soul, will find these items and reach out to my team at: Infomaverick2026@gmail.com. I’m offering a reward for their safe return. Thank you with all My Heart.”

The “Vogue” singer wore a purple corset and lace-trimmed camisole with matching gloves and stockings that she paired with knee-high lace boots and aviator shades.

Carpenter wore a white strapless bodysuit with a bow-tie detail at the chest and embellished lace, which she paired with drop earrings and white Mary Jane pumps.
