A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a vehicular interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head that accommodates a variable reflectance mirror reflective element, a driver monitoring camera and a near infrared light emitter. When the near infrared light emitter is electrically operated to emit near infrared, the near infrared light emitter emits near infrared light that illuminates at least a driver head region. While the variable reflectance mirror reflective element is operating in a first mode, and responsive to determination that visible light reflecting off glasses worn by the driver is obscuring the camera's view of the eyes of the driver, the vehicular driver monitoring system controls the variable reflectance mirror reflective element to reduce visible light transmissivity through the variable reflectance mirror reflective element to reduce visible light reflections at the glasses worn by the driver as captured in the image data captured by the driver monitoring camera.
