As diehard South Floridians, we’ve all been there, which is why God invented mousse.

We’re talking about bad hair days (and nights).

Victoria Beckham got a taste of 100 percent humidity during Sunday’s grand unveiling of Inter Miami’s superstar player Lionel Messi at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

The downpour, complete with lightning and intense wind, was so bad that the event was delayed while some folks had to run for cover. Even when the festivities were able to start up again, conditions were dicey, with one of the team’s co-owners, David Beckham, slipping and sliding on the slick stage.

But ever the pro, Posh Spice was ready for the elements. Celebrity stylist Ken Paves happened to be in the house, as well. As per the mother of four’s Instagram stories, the two escaped to the stadium’s VIP Suites’ bathroom for a few emergency touch-ups on her long mane.

In one of the former pop star’s Intagram stories, the text over screen jokingly says that Paves, whose clients include Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria and Jessica Simpson, launched his own “popup” in the loo. Also in the crowded restroom were two of the Beckhams’ kids — Harper, who had to have her dress steamed out, and Cruz, who had frizz issues of his own.

On another photo on her Insta stories, Victoria advised her followers who may not be aware that the Sunshine State often doesn’t live up to its name: “This weather is good for the skin but not so good for the hair.”
