Answer: According to the director, it's almost always Adrian, except for the climax, where it is explicitly shown that Tom is wearing the suit. Adrian had him take over knowing that there was a very good chance Tom wouldn't survive, because he wanted to set Tom up as the fall-guy for him. (Of course Tom didn't know this).

Where does the director state that?

In an interview with Perri Nemiroff, director Leigh Whannell said Tom only wore the suit once. https://collider.com/invisible-man-when-is-adrian-wearing-the-suit-explained/?fbclid=IwAR0FeHR0w-7DPFjFq71By1SEN9e8C5tR_WPDWGQp26Rm9_ASasjqjMLKKMI.

Question: How did Cecilia manage to change so quickly during that final dinner, especially after she put on the invisibility suit, killed Adrian, then changed back into her little black dress so quickly? I would image the suit would have been so difficult to wear and remove. (01:13:00)

Answer: A couple things... when she pulled the mask off Adrian's brother earlier, the suit seemed pretty thin and flexible, so I can't imagine it's all that difficult to put on and remove. It'd probably be like slipping on some coveralls. It would defeat the whole purpose of the suit if it was hard to put on, wear and use. I also don't think she necessarily needed to take the time to completely change. Her dress is small enough that she could honestly probably just slip the suit on over it. Finally, it's really not uncommon for movies to "compress time" a bit by cutting scenes shorter. You could easily make an argument that we're simply not seeing everything in "real time." Why waste an extra 30 seconds just showing Adrian lying on the floor bleeding? It'd totally kill the pacing of the scene.

Question: How come the footage from the security cameras in the restaurant and the mental hospital haven't been looked at when Emily was murdered and all those guards were attacked? They all could've proved Cecilia's claims.

Cody Fairless-Lee

Answer: It's entirely possible that there weren't any security cameras in the restaurant that would have her on camera. As for the mental hospital, it doesn't really matter whether they look at the cameras or not - there are now plenty of witnesses to back her up, as evidenced by the fact she is free at the end.

Question: How long has Cecilia been away from Adrian after her escape? Had to ask because the nurse said to Cecilia that she had been pregnant for around a month.

Cody Fairless-Lee

Answer: Using context clues from the movie, we can assume she's been gone for a few weeks. She likely got pregnant shortly before she escaped, hence she's about a month along when she goes to the doctor. The events of the movie transpire over a relatively short period of time, so it all lines up pretty well.
