Both edits done in Lightroom. Here are my basic steps:

Straightened the photo making the wooden bar level, cropped slightly to bring the hat to the left edge.

Used the clone/heal tool to clean up the crumbs/spots around her mouth and the dark spot on her hat.

Applied preset Vintage Blue

Adjusted exposure to 0.51

Adjusted brightness to 43

Reduced luminance smoothing to 55 and color noise reduction to 68

Added an adjustment brush set to Iris Enhance selecting her eyes

Removed the vignette that was added in the preset and then used adjustment brush to lighten the upper left corner of the hat and darken the portion above her forehead.

Adjusted the Shadow Hue slightly to adjust the color

Added a Dodge adjustment just under her lips as it was a bit dark.

 

For the black & white, I started with the color edit and converted to b&w, adjusting the Shadow Hue and Contrast until I got tones I liked. Set the Point Curve to Strong Contrast

Adjusted contrast, fill light, and recovery until I liked the results.
