"butter wouldn't melt in someone's mouth

butter wouldn't melt in someone's mouth

if butter wouldn't melt in someone's mouth, they look as if they would never do anything wrong although you think they would. She looks as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth but I've seen her fighting with the younger kids.

Could you describe to me some situations when you would use this idiom? I don't really get it.

Thanks.

Best wishes,

PBF
