Sorry Ariel, Halle Bailey has entered her Barbie era and traded her fish tail for a bright pink getup.

The Little Mermaid star just shared the most stunning Instagram trio of photos wearing a fuchsia long-sleeve one-piece featuring a daring zip-up front and high-leg silhouette. She posed on a boat with her toned and tan legs and natural bare-face on full display. Bailey was photographed from the side for the cover shot as she sat on her knees and looked off into the lake view. In the next two snaps, the singer leaned on her side and showed off her smolder to the camera.

“water girl forever ♾️ 🩷🌊,” the 23-year-old captioned the July 14 carousel shared with her 6.5 million followers.

The Let it Shine actress wore the Compression Long Sleeve Swimsuit ($76.99) from Good American.

“You’re so so beautiful 🩷🩷🩷🩷,” founder Khloe Kardashian commented.

“Our swim is mermaid approved 😍💖🧜‍♀️,” the clothing brand’s official Instagram account chimed.

“OUT OF THE SEAAAAAA 🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♀️,” Aoki Simmons added.

“Out of the sea….wish I could beeeee, part of thattt world 😍😍😍,” Idia Aisen sang some song lyrics.

“she’s ready for barbie me thinks,” one fan wrote.

“THE LITTLE MERMAID 2 LETSSSSS GOOOOO 💖🌸✌🏼🧜🏽‍♀️,” another begged.
