Here’s What the Judge Says Diddy Can Wear to Court for His Trial

After months of dressing in drab jail-issued outfits, Sean “Diddy” Combs will be allowed to wear “non-prison clothing” to court for his trial.

A federal judge handed down the wardrobe-related order on Wednesday, April 30, after the music mogul’s attorney Teny R. Geragos filed a request with the court.

Per the order obtained by Urban Hollywood 411, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian instructed staff at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York to allow Combs — identified as Inmate #37452-054 —  to receive a package of regular clothing at the jail.

The judge said the Bad Boy Records founder is allowed to have: “Five button down shirts, up to five pairs of pants, up to five sweaters, up to five pairs of socks, and up to two pairs of shoes without laces.”

Jury selection in the mogul’s trial begins on May 5, with opening statements set to start on May 12.

Combs, 55, was arrested on Sept. 16, 2024. He was initially charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to the 14-page indictment.

On April 3, prosecutors added two more charges in a superseding indictment, bringing the total to five counts. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all five charges.

Before his arrest, heavily-armed agents with the Department of Homeland Security raided the mogul’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami on March 25, 2024. Combs was not home at the time, but two of his sons were briefly detained during the raid in L.A.

Urban Hollywood 411 went to the Holmby Hills neighborhood where the L.A. estate is located. The LAPD assisted in the raid, by placing yellow crime scene tape around the neighborhood, and parking a squad car in the middle of the road. Several tour buses stopped in front of the yellow tape, allowing tourists to take pictures, and chat with reporters.

Combs’ then-attorney Aaron Dyer denounced the raids as a “gross overuse” of force.

“There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,” Dyer said at the time.
