Stern has crossed into the risque many times.
In 1978, Gruner + Jahr was sued (unsuccessfully) to ban the sexualized covers from the magazine so I am hardly the only person to know of and remember them:

I did a google search for the pictured French actress and found this photo:
Admittedly a different photo shoot, hairstyle and clothing, but quite similar to the Stern photo.

Second, the WT did not steal the picture from Stern, but they both bought it from a stock or whatever it is called, where thousands of photos are available for magazines, newspapers etc. I remember a few years back, when the WT had a picture of Santa Claus on the front page, and a big newspaper in my country had the same picture. Neither had stolen it from the other, but both had bought it from such a stock.
Citation needed. 😂 The fact that stock photos exist is not evidence that the photo in Stern is a stock photo.

It's no more stock photography then the pictures of Sharbat Gula (National Geographic 1985), Madonna (Rolling Stone 1987), Bob Dylan (Prisma 2011), Marilyn Monroe (Playboy 1953) and Dwight Eisenhower (Life 1948) were.
--Magazines known for their iconic photography took their own photographs, which is what made them unique. And although it offended a lot of German women, there is no denying that the picture of Grace Jones, naked and in chains (Stern 1978) was iconic
