Guise

n: an external form or appearance or manner of presentation, typically concealing the true nature of something. 

The Pharisees' worship of God was no more than a guise.  They wanted to kill Jesus for His condemnation of this very trait.
Though I love the Beatles' music, I find their universally endorsed guise of being inspired enlightened leaders of the world to be dissatisfying (as well as their arrogance).
Meredith and I pray that out spiritual growth is more than a guise.
Most politicians are hard to like after their guise has been removed.
Meredith's guise of being tastefully superior is both supercilious and endearing.
The pretty label is a guise concealing that inner grossness of apple cider vinegar.
A geyser is a guise of...nothing.
I said, "Hey guys, a guise can be misleading."
"You want guise with that?"
