The whites are blown out in the 2nd one.

What I would do if it were me is:

Open the first one in PS and do a new layer adjustment( levels, curves or something to lightenen it up) then I would take a black brush and brush over the white jacket. It should take the adjustment off of the white jacket.

Mind if I give it a try?

Yes. I would also pull some of the red out of her skin tones.

But it is a big improvement.

The three pictures are really small, I am having a hard time seeing them.

Here is what I came up with the edit.

I just played with the color balance. It was kinda hard with such a small image, but this is close As I could get.
