Candice Swanepoel does best mermaid impression while swimming underwater in sexy monokini

Candice Swanepoel could give The Little Mermaid a run for her undersea fierceness.

The 26-year-old model posted an Instagram video of herself swimming around in an underwater cave, and she could easily pass for The Little Mermaid's Ariel brought to life.

But could the heroine of the 1989 animated musical pull off that white bum-baring monokini?

Watch the video above to see Candice in underwater action.

If they ever get around to making a live-action version of The Little Mermaid, we know who'd be perfect for the title role.
