So this is what Tyga sees in her! Kylie Jenner lookalike Val Mercado sizzles in plethora of swimsuits for Miami photo shoot
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.

Major competition: Model Val Mercado, famous for being a doppelgänger of reality star Kylie Jenner, 18, stopped by Miami 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.

Cheek mate: The model made sure she stood out from the other beauties and was no afraid to use her secret weapon - her shapely derriere
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.
