Character mistake: When Vivian is in the tub singing "KISS" by Prince, she sings the verses in the wrong order. Not a big mistake, but a noticeable one for a Prince fan.
Pretty Woman (1990)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Garry Marshall
Starring: Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Jason Alexander, Hector Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy, Laura San Giacomo, Amy Yasbeck
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Vivian is with Edward at the hotel room, they're talking while he's inside sitting and she's outside. You can see on the first shot it's day time and when Edward stands up and goes near her it's evening time already. (or viceversa)
Edward: What makes you think I am a lawyer?
Vivian: You have that sharp, useless look about you.
Trivia: Richard Gere actually plays the piano - and he composed this piece himself.

Answer: As the other answer indicated, it was part of her cheap hooker persona, but it also makes a greater impact on the audience when they see Vivian undergo her "transformation" with the classy designer clothes, toned-down make-up, and her own nicely-styled hair.
