The facts speak for themselves.
It's commonly used to tell people that there's no point in denying an allegation because evidence proving the allegation is overwhelming.
macmillandictionary.com definition:
used for saying that the facts of a particular situation provide all the necessary, true information about it
"You can't deny you took the rooster, the facts speak for themselves."

It's not exactly an idiom, I don't think, unless you're very literal minded (appearances don't speak), but it conveys the meaning of your examples.
