The judge presiding over Sean Combs’ upcoming trial on May 5 has approved his request to upgrade his wardrobe.
Most detainees are required to wear standard prison uniforms to court. But, according to documents obtained by TMZ, the judge in Combs’ case signed an order allowing him to look stylish for the jury.
Combs, 55, got permission to wear button-down shirts, tailored jackets and trousers, up to 5 sweaters, 5 pairs of socks and 2 pairs of shoes without laces to wear to court.
He can also have his grey hair and beard dyed if he so chooses. In previous court appearances, Combs is described as having white hair and beard. He also lost some weight since his arrest last September.
Combs is a man who is accustomed to looking suave and debonair in public. He is known to travel with his own barber and stylist to pick out his wardrobe.
His Sean John clothing line was sold in Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s retail stores around the country in the 1990s and 2000s.
He wants to put his best foot forward for the jury, which is why he asked the judge to let him spruce up his wardrobe.
Combs’ trial is set for Monday, May 5. He faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Plus, he faces dozens of sexual assault lawsuits filed by men, women, and children.
Most of those lawsuits are expected to be tossed out for lack of evidence.
