In the new film The Life Before Her Eyes, Uma Thurman, left, plays a woman who, as a child, witnessed a "Columbine-like" event which fucked her up for life. But want to know what's really fucked up? The fact Evan Rachel Wood plays Thurman's character's younger self. To quote Cher Horowitz: As if. Susan Sarandon's daughter, the painfully-beautiful Eva Amurri, also stars, and all of the aforementioned ladies were at the New York Film Society's screening of the movie last night. There were also a ton of models: Hana Soukupova, Helena Christensen, Irina Pantaeva, and Maggie Rizer, some, of course, better dressed than others. The full Good, Bad, and Ugly, plus the terrifying transformation of Evan Rachel Wood into Dita von Teese, after the jump.

The Good:

Eva Amurri knows how to showcase what her mama gave her.
Speaking of which, these are the moments when I can't believe that Amurri's mama Susan Sarandon played Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Also, how cute is her son Miles?
Yay for Gabrielle Brennan, the appropriately-dressed child of the day.
Damn you, Helena Christensen.
Irina Pantaeva should be rewarded for curbing her nascent Bai Ling-esque fashion instincts.
This is the best I have ever seen Nicole Miller look. Sigh.
I wish I could quit you, Olivia Palmero.

The Bad:
What's with the shiny, tiny pantsuit Hana Soukupova?
Oh, Maggie Rizer: Just 'cause your stepdaddy stole all your money doesn't mean you can't make some effort in dressing yourself.

The Ugly:
I love Dita von Teese. I am horrified to witness Evan Rachel Wood morphing into her.
