Thank you for sharing - not being familiar with calibration cards, I only paid attention to the features of faces (which seem well-rendered on the print), though the white dresses seemed to unnaturally lack shadow. I did not notice how the black hair texture on the women to the left and right was completely lost until you pointed it out.

With studio lighting (often powerful strobes, though this time it might just be continuous hot lights), it's pretty easy for something white to get blown out completely. If you also have something dark in the scene, you might need more light on that, at the same time that you're trying not to get too much light off the white. One tool in the studio is to use multiple light sources and modifiers. I don't know why that didn't seem to happen for the black woman's hair in this particular print. (The exposure of the white dress might be exactly as they intended, however -- almost an extreme, but the folds still detectable.)
