CSS styles not applied to Mailchimp form - html

Question

I have edited the style of an embedded Mailchimp form for my WP website. However, when I apply the changes to my website's footer.php and style.css, the form looks completely unstyled:
Here's a fiddle in which you can see the style of the form I aim to apply.
You can also see the code here:
/* Changes the style of the overall form */
#mc_embed_signup {
background: #c2cdc8;
color: #000000;
padding: 45px;
text-align: center;
}
/* Styles the header text above the inputs */
#inscripcion {
font-size: 18px;
font: Poppins, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 20px;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
}
#mc_embed_signup form {
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
}
.mc-field-group {
display: inline-block;
}
/* positions input field horizontally */
#mc_embed_signup input.email {
font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;
border: none;
padding: 15px;
width: 50%;
font-size: 16px;
margin-right: 0px;

#mc_embed_signup .clear {

#mc_embed_signup label.error {

<input type="email" value="" "style=background:#FFFFFF;" name="EMAIL" class="email" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="email" required>
<!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->
<div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;" aria-hidden="true"><input type="text" name="b_13cc95dc908756ea974c0f4fb_78f2b1b6c1" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
<div class="clear"><input type="submit" value="OK!" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
What's wrong with this code? Something must be blocking all styles, but I can't see what.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Answer 1

For some reason, if I included the HTML on footer.php and the CSS on style.css, the styles didn't properly load and the form had an awful appearance.
Perhaps this isn't a neat or clean solution, but it works and now my Mailchimp form is properly styled. I simply included the styles right at the beginning of the div for the form and now they appear smoothly. I did it with this code, included on footer.php:
<!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<style>
/* Changes the style of the overall form */
#mc_embed_signup {
background: #c2cdc8;
color: #000000;
padding: 45px;
text-align: center;
}
/* Styles the header text above the inputs */
#inscripcion {
font-size: 16px;
font: Poppins,sans-serif;
font-weight: 600;
margin: 0 0 20px;
color: #000000;
text-align: center;
}
#mc_embed_signup form {
text-align: center;
padding: 10px 0 10px 0;
}
.mc-field-group {
display: inline-block;
} /* positions input field horizontally */
#mc_embed_signup input.email {
font-family: Poppins,sans-serif;
border: none;
padding: 15px;
width: 50%;
font-size: 14px;
margin-right: 5px;

Change it so that it adapts to your needs and preferences and it should work, although I can't guarantee that it's a clean solution.
