As if Kylie Jenner didn't have reason enough to be jealous.

Model Val Mercado appears to have snatched the 18-year-old's rapper boyfriend Tyga, 26, and now has proved she's got a fabulous bikini body as well.

The 23-year-old social media sensation was a striking doppelgänger of reality star Kylie as she hit up Miami, Florida earlier this week for a racy photo shoot showcasing several different tiny swimsuits.

The emergence of the sizzling set of photos comes after Val was spotted in Beverly Hills with Tyga, who is reportedly on a break from his on-again-off-again flame Kylie.

Val was quite focused last weekend as she donned several revealing bikinis for a sexy photo shoot on the beach.

As usual, the beauty maven's eye make-up and pout-enhancing lipstick was spot on and flawless for the duration of the shoot.

The Instagram model started the shoot by wowing in a spicy red two piece that featured strategic tan inserts in the triangle halter top and in the hip portions of the high-waisted, deep-v bottom.

An American flag provided a complementary patriotic vibe.

She moved onto a flashier bright yellow two piece, which featured a small amount of frill on both the triangle top and side tie bottoms.

Somewhat incongruously, she was also seen posing with a softball bat with that particular ensemble.

The YouTube darling then moved on to join some other models for a group shot, where she flaunted her perfectly pert derriere in suit that appeared to be more sporty.

That suit paired a black hybrid bandeau top with intricate strapping and a grey, high-waisted bottom with cutouts on the hips.
