Monochrome, loose suiting, turtlenecks under camel coats: a decade before they were the looks girls try to pull off in 2014, they were Diddy's signatures. The late '90s early '00 were a whirlwind of award ceremonies, lavish charity events, TRL appearances, and press conferences, and Diddy showed out for every single one. From full Sean John sweatsuits on late-night talk shows to twinning with Mase and Carl Thomas in the video for the "Around The World" remix, no one did it quite like Diddy. So in honor of Puff's 44th birthday, we're gifting you a rundown of the best looks you forgot he rocked.
