Diddy’s trial set to begin the same day as Met Gala 2025

Sean "Diddy" Combs isn’t expected to attend, but his trial date has been set for the first Monday in May, a judge ruled on Thursday — coinciding with Vogue's annual Met Gala.

Combs, 54, is spending his time in a far different setting — he's been held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since September 17.

A judge recently denied his third request for bail and ordered that he remain in custody until his trial on May 5.

Interestingly, The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," would have suited the image Combs projected for years, before his dark past put him under Homeland Security’s scrutiny and landed him in jail.

According to Vogue, the Costume Institute’s show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art will "take the Black dandy as its subject, examining the importance of clothing and style to the formation of Black identities in the Atlantic diaspora."

This year’s co-chairs for the event include actor Colman Domingo, race car driver Lewis Hamilton, and music artists A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams.

NBA star LeBron James will be an honorary chair.

Combs appeared in court wearing tan jail clothes and shackles around his ankles — a stark contrast to the stylish outfits he sported at the Met Gala before facing sex trafficking charges.

The rapper was reportedly uninvited to last year’s event amid his federal investigation. (Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.)

Despite everything, the "Mo Money, Mo Problems" rapper seemed calm during his appearance in Manhattan court, where his family, including six of his seven children and his mother, Janice, came to support him. The family took up two rows in the courtroom, and Combs blew a kiss to his mother as he left the 45-minute hearing.

"I love you. I love you," he told his mom.

Meanwhile, his mother, 84, maintained her son’s flashy legacy, showing up in a mini skirt, fishnet stockings, an animal print jacket, and bedazzled sunglasses at the courthouse.

Combs is scheduled to return to court on December 18.
