The image of the Gauss map of any oriented isoparametric hypersurface in the standard unit sphere $S^{n+1}(1)$ is a minimal Lagrangian submanifold in the complex hyperquadric $Q_n(\mathbb{C})$. In this paper we show that the Gauss image of a compact oriented isoparametric hypersurface with $g$ distinct constant principal curvatures in $S^{n+1}(1)$ is a compact monotone and cyclic embedded Lagrangian submanifold with minimal Maslov number $2n/g$. We obtain the Hamiltonian stability of the Gauss images of homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces of classical type with $g = 4$. Combining with our results in [25] and [27], we completely determine the Hamiltonian stability of the Gauss images of all homogeneous isoparametric hypersurfaces.
