On August 2, Southlake Town Square teased a major retailer announcement on social media with a picture of sweetheart celebrity Reese Witherspoon. Then it quietly dropped a post that was met with many googly heart eyes and wild applause emojis: Witherspoon's Draper James boutique will be opening in the fall, it said.

"We're SO EXCITED to welcome Draper James to Southlake Town Square this fall!," the shopping center said in the post on Instagram and Facebook, which was shared by Visit Southlake.

A spokeswoman for Draper James confirmed August 5 that the brand was headed to Southlake but declined to elaborate on any details yet. "Stay tuned for more from us in the next few weeks!," she promised. An opening date has not been announced.

Witherspoon, the Oscar-winning actress known for blockbusters like Legally Blonde, Sweet Home Alabama, and Walk the Line — as well as the hit HBO show Big Little Lies — was born in New Orleans and raised in Nashville. She started the Southern-inspired fashion and lifestyle brand in spring 2015 and opened the first store in Nashville later that year.

Adorably, she named the company in honor of her grandparents, who "taught her everything she knows about gracious Southern living," the company says.

In 2016, Draper James opened the doors to a pop-up in Dallas' Highland Park Village, then returned later that year to open an 1,800-square-foot brick-and-mortar shop. Witherspoon herself stopped by to christen the store, and she brought along her husband and daughter.

The Highland Park Village boutique recently closed. In Dallas-Fort Worth, the brand now is sold at Neighborhood Goods in Plano. According to the Draper James website, there currently are standalone shops in Nashville; Atlanta; and Lexington, Kentucky.

Draper James boutiques feature ready-to-wear, accessories, and home products in a variety of seasonal prints. The easy-breezy, Southern-inspired styles lean toward shirt dresses, wrap dresses, and midi and maxi dresses. There are also tees and tanks, sweatshirts and outerwear, totes, handbags, and sunglasses. A popular T-shirt asks, "What Would Dolly Do?"

"Draper James is steeped in Southern charm, designed for real life, and unapologetically pretty," the brand declares.

Cowboys star CeeDee Lamb teams up with Abercrombie on new collection

Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb worked with designers on a clothing line for the holidays.

A Dallas Cowboy with a winning look has parlayed his pre-game drip into a clothing line. Wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has partnered with Abercrombie & Fitch to build a 19-piece capsule collection that is available in stores and online Thursday, November 5.

Treating the tunnel walk to the stadium like a runway is a time-honored tradition in the NFL. Lamb has followed in the footsteps of Cowboys No. 88s who came before him - think Michael Irvin in the 1990s - embracing his own distinctive look, refining it with help from fashion pros, and strutting for the cameras. Even on the field, Lamb has been noticed for his bracelets, gloves, sleeves, pads, shoes, and mid-game helmet-set changes.

“I’ve always put effort into my personal style and it was a fun experience to be able to have a say in the design process,” Lamb says in a release. He says that Abercrombie has become a go-to brand for him when not on the field, adding, “it was awesome to work with the team to create a wardrobe capsule that fits my lifestyle.”

In 2025, Abercrombie signed a multi-year deal with both the NFL and the Dallas Cowboys to become an official fashion partner. Before that, the retailer licensed NFL products and operated a styling concierge program with McLaren Racing that dresses athletes before events and game-day arrivals.

The brand, discussing the role of NFL players in the fashion industry, tells Fashion United that Abercrombie has been at the intersection of fashion, sport, and culture throughout its entire 134-year history.

Abercrombie’s president Corey Robinson says in a statement that Lamb has been a significant part of the company's storytelling (read: advertising) since the launch of its NFL partnerships, and he is pleased to continue their relationship.

Other NFL players have also been tapped to work with Abercrombie. New York Giants players Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers recently posed for an Abercrombie photo shoot with models Emily Ratajkowski and Paloma Elsesser to promote denim.

Lamb visited Abercrombie’s design studio at its Ohio headquarters, where he selected the color palette and fabrics and worked with designers on silhouettes. The new collection includes outerwear, knitwear, shirts, trousers, and neckties with nods to his profession, including his jersey number, 88, embossed onto buttons on the cardigan and embroidered onto the back pocket of the trousers.

“We were excited to welcome CeeDee to our design office for this project,” Robinson says in the release.

The CeeDee Lamb Edit is available for purchase online and in stores at NorthPark, Galleria Dallas, and Grapevine Mills. Prices range from $40-$260.
