MADONNA has been left heartbroken as she revealed that someone has “stolen” her vintage clothes after performing at Coachella.

The 67-year-old music legend teamed up with Espresso singer Sabrina for a show-stopping finale – dressed-to-impress in purple lingerie.

Two decades after her own epic headlining slot at the Californian festival, the queen of pop turned heads in a flesh-flashing frilly outfit.

Wearing a purple corset with matching lilac gloves, purple stockings and knee-high stiletto boots, the comeback queen accessorised with tinted shades and her long blonde hair down in waves.

She joined a lingerie-clad Sabrina, 26, who wowed in a white lace sparkly bodice and heels during her headline set at Coachella.

But now pop icon Madonna has been left with a sour taste in her mouth after precious pieces from her wardrobe went missing following the set.

She shared on Instagram today: “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 garment.”

The musician stressed how irreplaceable these items are and issued an appeal for them to be returned.

Madonna continued: “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 will all my heart.”

Over the weekend, Madonna and Sabrina delighted the crowds with classic hits including Vogue, Like A Prayer and I Feel So Free from Madonna’s new album.

Sabrina had been mid-performance when an instrumental tease of Madonna‘s 1990 hit song Vogue weaved in.

Madonna told the cheering audience: “Wow, thank you.

“Sabrina, thank you so much for inviting me on your show.”

Holding hands, she replied: “No thanks needed, Madonna.”

“Well, I have a few things I want to get off my chest. So, 20 years ago today I performed at Coachella,” admitted the Ray of Light singer.

“I was in the dance tent and it was the first time I performed Confessions On The Dance Floor part one in America.

“It’s a full circle moment, you know? Very meaningful for me.” 

She urged: “Let’s try to be together. Let’s try to avoid disagreements.

“And to that point, the great thing about music is that it brings people together. 

“It’s the one place that people have to put their differences aside, put their s**t down and just everybody have a good time together, right?

“So I am thrilled to be a part of that healing experience…”

The Vogue singer confirmed this week that she will release her first record in seven years this July — a sequel to her 2005 smash Confessions On A Dance Floor.

The original, inspired by disco and Eighties electropop, shifted more than 10million copies.

It featured No1 singles Hung Up and Sorry, and ushered in a new era of dance music.

In 2024, Sabrina paid ­tribute to Madge by attending the MTV VMAs in a vintage strapless gown previously worn to the Oscars by her musical hero in 1991.

Sabrina said of Madonna last year: “She’s so lovely and exactly how you expect her to be — just, like, so magnetic.”

It might seem unusual, but they can actually come in very handy when you’re travelling.

Planning what to pack for a holiday can be challenging. The task becomes even trickier if you’ve only booked hand luggage, as there’s nothing more frustrating than attempting to squeeze everything into limited space.

But there’s one small item you should always attempt to include in your suitcase when travelling anywhere. It comes in particularly useful if you’re heading somewhere far away and want to reduce your jet lag.

All that’s required is a few clothes pegs, which most of us have at home.

If you’re somebody who struggles to sleep unless the room is completely dark, staying in hotels can be problematic, as curtains don’t always meet properly.

This is where clothes pegs come in handy. You can simply use them to fasten the curtain fabric together, preventing any additional light from filtering through and disrupting your rest.

A similar technique circulated on TikTok in recent years, though it involved using a hanger rather than clips. Nevertheless, people have highlighted several flaws with this method, which is why it’s worthwhile packing a few extra pegs instead, reports the Express.

When travel influencer Emmaline Childs demonstrated the hack on TikTok, she explained: “Pull out a hanger with the clippies and use that.”

In the comments section, viewers acknowledged the hack worked effectively but also identified a problem. Anyone who has stayed in a hotel lately might have noticed that those types of hangers weren’t available.

In many cases , they’re permanently fixed to the rail and cannot be removed. One commenter noted: “Half the hotels don’t give you the option to remove the hangers now!! But the other half I sleep well.”

Due to this issue, travel specialists at Islands suggest packing some clips or clothespins as a precaution. The experts explained: “Not only do they help close those stubborn curtains, but they also serve other handy purposes.”

For instance, one Reddit user shared: “We always pack 4 wooden clothespins. The ones that have springs. Good for drapes, closing snack bags and whatever else.”

They’re equally useful for hanging damp clothing in the shower to dry overnight when you fancy doing laundry during your hotel visit, and resealing those crisp packets or toiletry pouches to prevent your items from spilling into your luggage.
