CULTURAL MOMENT 🍅
This proverb has survived for centuries, in multiple languages, because the thing it's pointing at never goes away.
People will always be tempted to judge by the surface, and the surface will always, occasionally, lie.
A robe doesn't guarantee holiness. A suit doesn't guarantee competence. A title doesn't guarantee skill.
The proverb isn't cynical about this, it's just honest about it, and it hands you a fast, polite way to say so without a long explanation.
That's really what a good proverb is: a whole argument, compressed into six words, ready to deploy the moment you need it.
