The superstar singer dressed casually for the family meal, wearing an oversized black hoodie and sunglasses, with her hair up in a topknot.\r\n\r\nThe famous tot, meanwhile, showed off her early fashion sense with her hair in two little pigtails, snuggled into a camouflage hoodie, her two tiny feet dangling in Timberland boots.\r\nDad Jay-Z, 43, was not on hand for the Carter women-only lunchtime excursion.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Family has always been important,&amp;quot; Beyonce told the March issue of Vogue, calling Blue her &amp;quot;homey&amp;quot; and her &amp;quot;road dog.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve always had my mother and my father and my husband.
