Diddy has been given special permission to not wear his prison garbs in court.

While many celebrities readied themselves for last night's star-studded Met Gala, Diddy spent his day in court for the first day of his trial.

The music star was arrested in September 2024 and now faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts transportation to engage in prostitution — some of which could land him behind bars for the rest of his life.

The rapper's legal team reportedly tried to push back the trial to next month so that they had more time to review the evidence, but the request was denied.

Some criminals are made to wear their prison jumpsuits in court, but Can't Nobody Hold Me down hitmaker has been given permission to dress up for the occasion.

His team have been given strict rules on what he can wear and how many items of clothing he's allowed, however.

As per an order obtained by E! News, the 55-year-old has been 'permitted to receive non-prison clothing'.

The judge's order went on to detail that Diddy, real name Sean Combs, is allowed to have 'up to 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 to wear to court'.

During his court appearance yesterday, Diddy was seen sporting a white shirt with a black crew-neck sweater, grey trousers and glasses, said Sky News.

Most notably, the rap star's hair and beard is now greying.

Diddy has denied all the allegations against him and his legal team say those who have made the allegations against him were ex girlfriends.

They said in a statement issued last month that his accusers 'former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships'.

"This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion," they added, NBC News reports.

But, in a 14-page indictment, prosecutors say that Diddy 'abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct'.

"Combs relied on the employees, resources and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled — creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice," prosecutors added.

Both teams' opening statements are set to begin next week.
