Corrected entry: Before Zaphod, Arthur, Ford and Trillian enter the lift after talking to the mice, Trillian wears a dull red suit which hasn't been done up much. However when they leave the lift Trillian's suit is shiny and is considerably more done up. Her suit stays like this until in Episode 5 after the book explains Milliways when it suddenly changes back.
