Fashion: Stocking up for Christmas

At any other time of year, "designer stockings" would mean racy fishnets. But top fashion houses have turned their hand to reinventing the humble Christmas stocking for Selfridges. Ranging from Barbour's quilted sock (£30) to Karl Lagerfeld's crystal-embellished shoe (£200) and Maison Martin Margiela's hand-painted boot (£860) these are far too fancy to risk hanging above the fire. Available only at Selfridges, selfridges.com

Face to watch: Samantha Barks

She might have lost out on the role of Nancy in the BBC's I'd Do Anything but now Samantha Barks is playing Eponine in the Les Misérables movie, alongside Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman (out 13 January). In your face, Lloyd Webber!
