The Wild star modeled the Carly shirt dress from her new holiday collection, featuring a striking red plaid pattern.
She paired the dress with a simple yet elegant set of small gold hoop earrings, and allowed her flowing blonde hair to cascade down the back of the dress.
The photo was set against a brick facade estate and featured a set of garlands adorned with a red plaid bow.

In another photo, the Emmy Award-winning actress stood on top of the estate’s porch to model the same dress.
Visible in this new photo were a set of dark green tennis shoes, which played well into the holiday theme of the photo shoot.
Witherspoon launched Draper James in 2015 with the intent of blending her Southern roots and personal style into a commercial line; the name is a reference to the names of her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and William James Witherspoon.
In October 2015, Draper James received $10 million dollars in funding from an early-stage investment firm, Forerunner Ventures.

Draper James’ first brick-and-mortar store was opened in the actress’ hometown of Nashville, Tennessee in late 2015; subsequent stores have been set up in Dallas, Lexington, and Atlanta, with potential further store openings to follow.
In 2017, Southern Living magazine named the Nashville store the ‘Best Shop in Tennessee.’
Kathryn Sukey was hired as the new head of design for Draper James in 2019, and her first collection debuted in the spring of that same year.
The brand and its products have been featured in magazines and publications such as Vanity Fair, People, and Oprah Magazine, among others.
