We've all got it right now: Gatsby fever. From the window displays at Tiffany's and sneak peeks of the jaw-droppingly gorgeous costumes in the movie, to the star-studded soundtrack and hints of Gatsby-esque style showing up everywhere...We can't get enough.

Baz Luhrmann's "Great Gatsby" promises to deliver some serious eye candy (in addition to Leo, of course). In line with the era's decadence and glitzy hedonistic romps, the movie will be bursting with color and eye-catching visuals. But most of all, we're excited for the elaborate costumes, hair, and makeup.

Since flapper fashion and the Jazz Age are back in style this summer, you'll want to be perfectly practiced in the art of 1920s hairstyles. That's why we recreated four of our favorite looks: the blunt bob, glam curls, retro waves, and a faux bob.

But before you start thinking there's no way you could create a faux bob on your own, don't panic. We've made it easy by breaking down each look step-by-step. And you don't need to have a '20s-themed costume party penciled in on your calendar in order to wear these looks. These hairstyles are really versatile, and they'll look perfect at any summer cocktail party.

We've created hairstyles that are inspired by the jazz age but have a modern twist. So, instead of trying to suppress your Gatsby fever, embrace it.

I am so going to try the faux bob. Short hair without cutting mine off--genius!

Loved the faux bob and the long waves. But just have to ask what is going on with the last picture?! That doesn't look blonde to me...it looks crayola yellow! LOL
