Though incessantly compared, there’s clearly no bad blood between R&B belles Ciara and Tinashe.

The pair, who both tributed their musical genesis Janet Jackson at this year’s BET Awards, were all smiles when spotted together today at the Polo Ralph Lauren Fashion Week presentation in NYC.

Forget the comparisons, surely a collaboration would be more titillating?!
