Did anything change? Did you dig up roots? Use a new herbicide? Are you watering your lawn a lot? Too much water can cause this.

the entire canopy dying at once is a very bad sign. Not much room for optimism. On the other hand your lawn looks immaculate. I’m guessing some kind of chemical was applied the oak did not like. Or the grass is outcompeting your tree for water majorly. It is an extremely remote possibility that it sends off a second flush of leaves this season as oaks are capable of this but I think it’s a goner.

What you are seeing today is maybe a result of damage done in the past several years. Was soil added? When was driveway put in etc. A tree can use it reserves the first year or two after suffering construction type damage.
